I have been a professional electronics technician over the past 35 years repairing two-way radios, telephone switching systems, cellular and microwave equipment. This has been a good profession. During my 22 years with Verizon Wireless we were always on the move upgrading to the latest technology. The changes that I have seen in the span of these years have truly been miraculous. Still, my real passion is tube type electronics.
I began repairing vintage radios while in high school. Over the years, repair evolved into restoration. I renovated so many old radios, vintage stereos and test equipment that Sue insisted I created Russ' Old Radio Museum, a 1000 sq. ft. section of the radio repair shop, where sounds of the Big Band Era welcome visitors. The Old Radio Museum displays painstakingly restored works of exotic woods-- birds-eye maple, walnut, mahogany, elm and others not seen today. All of the radios in the museum HAVE TO WORK. Unfortunately, the Old Radio Museum has only so much space. At times we must part with a few. We welcome you to take a look at our STORE. This is a rare opportunity to welcome a beautifully restored piece of history into your home.

We will continue our BLOG that was on the old business site, featuring new projects for the museum, related items or pictures of our cats, just like before.
The Old Radio Museum is located on our 62 acre tree farm in Southern Oregon, where Fuzzy--the 22 lb. guard cat--watches me repair old radios- when he's not "catching wind" on the ATV.
The Old Radio Museum, located near Medford OR, is not open to the public, however, tours can be arranged by contacting us:
