Welcome to www.nearc.net, home of the.. New England Antique Radio Club Updated January 26, 2012 Founded in June of 1988, the New England Antique Radio Club, Inc. is dedicated to the preservation, collection, restoration and enjoyment of antique and collectible radios, televisions, and related hardware items (eg. test equipment, electronic components, cabinets, speakers, etc.) as well as related printed matter (eg. magazines, user's manuals, advertising, textbooks, etc.) and radio/television broadcasting memorabilia. |
See complete information on the RADIO XLIII information page. As of January 26, We are SOLD OUT! |
Much of the New England Antique Radio Club activity focuses around the club swap meets. These events provide club members with an opportunity to gather together to buy, sell and trade radios, TVs, parts, tubes, books, magazines and, most importantly, the chance to meet and exchange ideas with other radio collectors. The public is always invited to attend and enjoy a day of radio fun and nostalgia.
What is a New England Antique Radio Club swap meet? Its an antique radio flea market, an old radio sales event, a vintage collectible electronics hobby get-together, .... A great occasion to see, handle, talk about and buy old electronics! Direct face-to-face discussions with individual dealers for getting questions answered, buying that old radio you remember from high school, and sometimes even swapping something with a dealer.
A swap meet purchase means no boxing & packaging hassles. No shipping & insurance charges. No waiting for any UPS or FedEx deliveries. No "damaged in transit" surprises. You simply take your purchases right out to your own car/van/SUV. A swap meet is good old-fashioned "cash and carry" shopping. (Note: Individual dealers may or may not accept personal checks and/or credit-debit cards; plain old cash always works best!)
What sort of "goodies" have been found at past New England Antique Radio Club swap meets?
We cannot promise that all of these things can be found at every swap meet. Each swap meet has a different mix of interesting old electronics-related items for sale. Our dealers are very ingenious at finding a wide variety of old and not-so-old electronics to sell at their tables. We never know for sure exactly what will appear at any swap meet. Surprises often happen. It's always worth a visit just to see what our dealers have on their tables.
NEARC Swap meets are always setup indoors (heated, A/C) with clean rest rooms and a food service concession and an ATMinside. On-site paved parking is free. See below for the next swap meet date, time and directions.
