Zenith radio collector recalls four day Elgin Fest and a lifetime haul
The collector recalls finding 250 Zenith radios in 1990 from Dale Goodwin for 5500 and hauling them home in a 24 foot truck. He highlights a 1935 Stratosphere as his prized piece bought for 11000 in 1992 now valued around 20000. He notes radios as a symbol of mass communication history and nostalgia for 1930s era broadcasts.
