- Marcia and I spent our 35th anniversary at this event in Farmington hills, MI. We had a great time. Stayed at the Holiday Inn, spent some quality time together, enjoyed great food, loved out time away from the normal routine. I was very happy to be greeted by people that have enjoyed this UA-cam Channel. I strive to present quality videos. Marcia and I plan to do more on location videos this year. We hope you enjoy this tour down vintage alley. For more info on this event, see: TheVee.org. Thank you to all that attended.

Hi from Romania,i like old radio,i love this.
Hi Terry , add Stereo to your header . I love watching your videos to spot Receivers , Amps and speakers . Thank You for sharing your time with all of Us !
A wonderful tour of paradise for collectors ... ) Thank you. I am from Ukraine, I have a large private collection of old radio equipment from all over the world, including more than 10 radios from the USA. Unfortunately, we are not into entertainment right now, but I really want to visit Kutztown or Farmington Hills after the war and add to my collection tube radios from the 20s and 30s.
Aerial view, those are some gigantic capacitors! :) at 45:30
I believe they have been reformed.
@@Nirky Aaahahahahah!
Thats was pretty cool!
Them things are damn nice..
Amazing !!
Love the Gilligan's island comment because I saw that episode many times
Man 2019 was huge
Show,magnific retro times!
yes the opening music is being actually played thru an aux input on the Zenith console you see. We were using a portable battery CD player thru an aux input cord patched into the volume control. No switches, no holes drilled, EASY !!! I just add 100 ohms or so half watt resistors in series with each hot audio lead, then "Y" them down to the high side of the vol control. Shield goes to the low side. I use 3.5mm stereo male to male cords, cut the 6' ones in half and use the 3' cord, run it thru any existing hole and tie a strain relief knot in it on both sides of chassis.
32:04 - I had that Bell Labs kit in 1968, a Vowel Generator and another kit, Make Solar Cells at Home! Dad and I "cooked" them in the little ceramic "furnace" that was included in the kit. In our barn! We had to cut asbestos bricks, with a hack saw!, to encase the heating element of the furnace. Also a dozen deadly chemicals and one inch silicon wafer! Kids today just don't have the opportunities we had. BTW, the solar cells "worked"!
I was expecting Marsha to find a couple of 5R4's for you! THOSE would fit in her purse :)
It is always a lot of fun to watch you and your "Much better looking other half" go to the swap meet/hamfest/antique radio shows. Thanks Marcia and Terry!
Thanks for the interview at 1:04:15 of your video. There aren't many places to advertise a specialty craft. Consequently, many radio people don't know that there are reproduction knobs and rubber parts available from RenovatedRadios.com. No reason for radios to have a knob or two missing anymore. Thanks for your excellent video work.
Hey terry nice areal view at 45:30, perfect 👍 timing, nice shot of the cougar!
Happy Anniversary Terry & Marcia!! Always love the road shows! Thanks for all you do to keep the hobby alive!
Interesting video. I love the old tube stuff! I saw under one of the tables what looked like a Garod V Neutrodyne, but couldn't tell for sure. I hope to have a working one before too terribly long. It is a TRF type receiver, battery powered.
Thanks for sharing the video! Say hi to Marsha for me!
Ciao!
Just like an episode of Walter Cronkite's "You Are There" ? Thank you Terry and Co. for sharing !
Thank you for this video.
Nice video Terry. Thanks.
Thanks for posting, sorry I missed this expo! With all the starting and stopping I did to look at items and pricing, this took me over 3 hours to watch. Not complaining, I was loving it!
Next Vintage Electronics Expo is Sat, Feb 1 , 2020 again at the Costick Center in Farmington Hills, MI. www.thevee.org will have all the info and an on-line dealer form soon.
Jsut had another great show Jan 20 2024 at the Southfield Pavilion !
Thanks for the video
Your passion for tube technology is refreshing and contagious. Thanks for making these videos!
I have that exact white radio at 14:29 never saw another one ever until now
Thanks for the tour. Those Zenith TO's at 22:17 looked like a good price.
Aw man! I wish I’d known about this!!! ... and that the weather wasn’t so crappy!
Thanks for the video :)
Looking forwards, Terry, to you featuring another one of these big events.
This event is definitely awesome, Terry... thanks for sharing.
32:00 Yup... those things are cool....I had one of those Speech Synthesis projects when I was little. It was a kit and the box the kit came in became the chassis. When certain combinations of capacitors and resisters were connected across the various Fahnestock-clip pairs, it would generate phoneme sounds when the key was pressed and let go. It would say "oooo" or "aaahhhh" or "eehhhh" or "eerrrr" or "uuhhhh" etc etc etc, depending on the R/C combinations. :-)
Thank you for the great video!
Next Winter VEE is Sat, FEB 1, 2020 at the Costick Center in Farmington Hills, Michigan. See event site at www.thevee.org , has pix of previous shows and will have registration info in November for this show.
First time I've been to one too, just recently got into restoring old tube radios. Should have brought more money, kept on getting outbid on the boxes of tubes. :-)
25:10 - Reminds me of the 'instant-on' models from the early 60's. The tube filaments were run ALL THE TIME! They also had potentially-hot chassis!
I love places like these! The only downfall about places like these though, is since its a specific niche, people usually know what they got, and are priced accordingly.
Which means less $ than the antique malls and shops where they all think they have the rarest thing ever when they find a Hallicrafters S-38 ! Stay to the end of these shows and the bargains really start, especially the famous "Bargain Auction" thats at 3pm Saturday of every VEE.
That was Fun !!!
14:16 - Gilbert: the people who brought us Erector Set and various chemistry sets!
My Dad bought me that Gilbert Electric eye when I was 10; 1950.
I am getting my load ready for the Kalamazoo VEE July 19-20 2019. Will have tons of stuff, tube amps, tuners, tubes, misc parts of all kinds. Hope to see many of you there ! Mark Oppat Antique Audio, Plymouth, MI
Nice job. Looks like a lot of fun. I enjoyed the days of grass root publications and shows like this before eBay came along and made everybody a “genius”😂
Greetings from Chile , very cool videos Terry !!!!
Always love your videos
Feel like a kid in a candy store. You guys are lucky to have these sorts of meets in the US. I would have left with a trailer load!
Hello Minions . +1 on that. Same thought. Fill a 20ft with Farmalls, Fordsons and a few crates of this great gear.
At our summer VEE we get a guy comes every year from New Zealand... he plans his vacation around it ! Has relatives in the Midwest somewhere too so maybe that is a pull too.
Dand. Wish I’d known about this event. Could’ve gone to it
National treasures, I mean the characters as well as the equipment. It's like with the old tractors and vintage cars and such. The wealth of knowledge, experience and just history assembled in those halls. Who is going to fill their shoes? Would love to attend such a show over in the 'States , perhaps next year.
we welcome all foreign visitors to our shows ! We have regulars from Canada, of course, but also from Australia and France have come in the past, that we know of.
The DIagnometer is an all-in-one tester for OLD radios!
Freeze-frame at 59:02 and read the sheet on the table!
15:48 - A hidden treasure, that 'double-deck' tape deck!
Great video de W2CSI
The summer event in KZoo is circled on my calendar!! It’s a few days before my birthday 🎁
Great stuff. High Prices. High repair/restoration prices.
Prices are WAY less now for many things than they were 10-15 yrs ago ! And, the Bargain Auction at the end... wow.... super cheap stuff there. Every VEE has a Bargain Auction at the end. 3pm Saturday for either the winter or summer show.
@@leannmeixner8073 I'm sure that us when most of the "sales" takes place.
D lab you have the nicest wife, she even gets involved is really cool, I tried to explain to mine how a feild coil speaker works and it was explaining trigonometry to a 3 year old.
Terry does have the nicest wife , I've experienced her hospitality when I visited, Terry and Marcia are gracious hosts , I'm fortunate to live in the same area as D-Lab! Cheers!
Sadly, the SUMMER VEE set for July 18-19 2020 is CANCELED ! Watch event site for more info www.thevee.org
At least one of the rusty amps you pointed out was from an Allen Organ.
Initial. I think that visitors have to charge for entrance. Because it looks like a very interesting Museum of radio engineering ! From the twenties to the 90s ! Do not need alcohol after such exhibitions of electronics sales begins to feel dizzy heh :)! The author thank you for video !
Second. In modern electronics there is no soul and a rich historical past.
38:30, those optivisor magnifying headbands are very high quality and the lenses, which are swappable and replaceable, are glass, not plastic. Unfortunately, the sets usually don't come with anything higher than a number 3 diopter lens, pretty much useless for my old eyes. At work I mostly use #5 and #7 diopter, and occasionally number 10 lenses, which I had to buy online.
I wish we had a local advent ,like yours .so much cool stuff I would save all year.I love d- labs thank you for sharing ,even though I not there I get to see if show the prices please
Why can't ca. Have a place like this,you lucky man Terry,so much good stuff.thanks for the video you two.
You have to be in the Midwest or East Coast to see this much stuff at a show. Its where all the stuff is. Get to these VEE events in Michigan or the two "Antique Radio" shows in Kutztown, PA , one is May 10-11 the other is Sept 20-21. I sell parts at the fall one only. I'm the guy at 22:15 in the video. Antique Audio,
Mark
@@leannmeixner8073 thanks for your help and info.
The two larger clubs in CA are the "Southern California Antique Radio Society" (SCARS) around LA area and the "California Historic Radio Society" (CHRS) around the Oakland area. Both have "trunk sale" events. Some events in the Denver, Portland and Seattle areas too. But, you really gotta come east for this assortment. Chicago area has a show early August- www.antique-radios.org/schedule.html , Charlotte, NC has one coming Mar.22-23 www.cc-awa.club , Kutztown, PA has two, one in May one in Sept www.renningers.com , New England Antique Radio Club has one coming Mar. 3 www.antique-radios.org/schedule.html , Mid Atlantic Antique Radio Club has one June 27-30 www.maarc.org/ Those are the all the biggies. The Kutztown ones are the biggest and have the really nicest stuff. I sell parts at the Sept. one every year. All these shows are outdoor flea markets, some have indoor seminars and such, except the Michigan ones are both indoors. Kutztown is under two 300' X 60' pavilions.
Oh man, that would be worth the cost of a flight from NZ to USA!
The summer VEE in Kzoo has had visitors from NZ ! Also, Canada and UK.
the marantz, dual, and mcintosh were the only hot selling items there.
love old cassette players with vu meters the needle ones especially. but darn the price is going up every year it seems.
At 1:05:21 finding this guy will certainly be useful for me and a lot of others.
Ed Schutz, a former 2nd grade schoolteacher and a MASTER at his craft of making rubber and plastic parts for vintage radios and related stuff. He is hoping to hand the business off to a younger person soon. He makes almost 400 parts and makes decent $ doing it.
terry, i'm looking forward to visit one of this exhibit/sale of vintage electronics, but i'm here in toronto, and right now only blowing snow/blizzard is here almost daily!
Yes Sir, Getting our buts kicked here too. Arctic WX in Michigan!
Happy Anniversary Terry and Marcia , such a great event the both of you attended, not to mention the great video!! Were there any Maestro Echoplex EP-3s there? Thanks for the Video!
mid 60s radio shack speakers GETEM DLABS!
I have the hallicrafters at 19:57 ...I'd love to find another..great video sir.
Next Winter Vintage Electronics Expo is Sat, Feb 1 back at this location, Costick Center , 28600 11 mile Rd in Farmington Hills, MI. Admission $5, kids under 15 free. DONT MISS ! over 14,000 sq ft of sales space. See www.thevee.org for seller tables or other info soon. Note: Summer VEE will be moving to Livonia (Burton Manor) Sat-Sun July 18-19, again, watch event site for info.
Next VEE event is Fri-Sat July 19-20 2019 at the Kalamazoo Expo Center. See www.thevee.org. NOTE! RV's can be parked in designated areas and hookups are available thru permit from the Expo Center. Also, car camping.

24:44 - I'd love to see a 'tear-down' of this. Just how good is the build quality nowadays?
Terry, thanks for showing this. I live in Jacksonville Florida and no such events here, but I would love to go to one, one day. Good to see you and Marica... appreciate the walk thru. I did send an email to Ed regarding some knobs I am looking for so thanks for the connection. Thanks Ron
There are some ham fests in Florida that can be found at arrlwcf.org/events/list/. There might be something there you are looking for.
Thank you sir
The only large vintage radio/electronics event in the south is in Charlotte, NC, coming March 22-23 at the Sheraton Charlotte Airport hotel. Its been there 25 years now, and like many of these shows, is not well advertised. I am a parts vendor at that show each year too. Website is here : cc-awa.club/antique-radio-charlotte Its been an all-outdoor flea market for all these years with indoor auctions and seminars. The hotel there offers a real discount deal- usually around $85 for a night, with indoor pool.
There is another smaller show in Atlanta, put on by the Southeastern Antique Radio Society www.sarsradio.com/swap%20meets-d.htm. Note, these are known as "Antique Radio Swap Meets" and do not have as much stuff or attendance as the show in this video but you will see similar stuff. If you have a particular interest area, its worth making a flyer about it with all your contact info and drop one on each seller's table. You will be amazed what you might turn up since most sellers only bring a tiny fraction of what they have to the shows (too much to haul for older folks!). Since re-branding to "The Vintage Electronics Expos" in 2015 , this show has more than doubled attendance. The Michigan Antique Radio Club is the promoter of the two VEE events. Info, contact Mark Oppat at moppat at comcast dot net or see the site at www.thevee.org Also, more pix on the Antique Radio Forum online, which is a GREAT place to hang and get info on nearly any vintage electronics gear if you are a newbie or an "old pro".
Man lots of good old vintage amps and speakers too bad that i dont live in USA ...
Next show Sat Feb 1 2020. See next post
Congratulations to you and Marcia (or is it Marsha?) on your 35th anniversary!
Good video!
Looks like all sellers tables (140 or so) are sold out for the Feb 1 , 2020 Winter Vintage Electronics Expo !
Hope to see you there ! www.thevee.org Costick Center, 28600 Eleven Mile Rd, Farmington Hills, MI.
Next show is Sat-Sun July 18-19 2020 at the larger Burton Manor in Livonia, MI. Two hotels nearby there, cash bar on site, food on site, should be a GREAT new location ! Grab a pal and come up to Michigan, see the great Henry Ford Museum and the Ford Rouge Tour, Detroits new vital downtown is unreal too. Plan your vacation now, hope to see you there !
I have the zenith pocket radio seen in the flyer and in first room its a 1956 i saw a pioneer sx 980 come to ewaste wanted it but it had to go to be shreded

Really good to see mrs d-lab, does she have her own youtube channel? Thanks for sharing
Hey man, not yet, working on that
D-lab, when was this? I live in the area (Dearborn) and I didn't hear anything about it. I do know there is a show Feb. 17th in Livonia
26 Jan 2019
@@d-labelectronics Oh man that sucks, I would have loved to go, and had the chance to meet you!
What show is that? I went to this one, would like to know about any others in the Detroit area.
MARC holds 2 events per year. The other one is in July in Kalamazoo. Hamfests are plentiful in Detroit and surrounding areas. Go to: www.arrl.org/hamfests/search/Location.division_id:SE/model:Event to find one near you.
@@drtidrow It is the Livonia Amateur Radio Club annual Swap-N-Shop. It's Sunday Feb. 17th, 8am to 12pm at the Civic Center Senior Center, 15218 Farmington Rd. Livonia, MI (SE corner of Farmington and 5 Mile Rd.)
What's with this auctioning off of clapped-out Stereo 120's? Harrumph!
I wonder who will spot those Apex gear first on eBay :)
I wonder how much of the same stuff I'll see at the Mansfield, Ohio Hamfest on Feb. 17.
Prices where cheap on them tubes, I need to go to one of these, I need some very uncommon tubes for a old sparten.
From the mind of a manic , what ones do you need?
Sparton (Sparks-Withington Co. is why its spelled like that) of Jackson, Michigan had some really odd tubes of their own in the "early AC radio" days (1927-1930). They were trying to avoid RCA's patents. Didnt work out, lost in court, they ended up like everyone else paying the license fees for a while until some patents ran out or I forget what happened. Anyways, they had their own "Cardon" brand tubes that ran 3.3v filaments... everyone else ran 1.5V, 2.5V, and 5 v at that time. 6V tubes came along 1933 to match auto voltage. The Sparton types 484 and 485 are fairly easy to find, but their output tubes are rare and pricey. You can use other types there but the others are pricey too. If you have a 1927 era Sparton, you would have the 3.3v filament "C373" aka "C401" tubes which had the filament leads on clips that fit pins on the SIDE of the tube base ! Now this is a sorry situation.... I know a guy making some conversions to 2.5v type 27 tubes for those right now., gonna run them triode. He has an "AC63 model, challenging radio !
Who is playing that piano at the top?
Hi John, That was a CD playing with a MP3 input to the Zenith
Hi John, that music was at our booth and the music was coming out of a 1939 Zenith Model 7S363 that I restored and added an aux input. ALL ORIGINAL circuit and 10" electro-dynamic speaker, just fresh caps as usual and good tubes. This can be done to most any vintage radio. The artist is Flint, Michigan native Mark Lincoln Braun, known as "Mr.B", who has toured the USA with his "Joybox Express" which is an upright piano on a trailer pulled by a pedal bike ! The disc is called "B at Home" and was recorded in his home. Mr. B's site is marklincolnbraun.com He plays at most major Ann Arbor and other Michigan art fairs and is known far and wide as one of the greatest "boogie piano" style players. If you are interested in buying this nice console radio or getting parts for such things or service, visit my site www.oldradioparts.net I specialize in knobs, capacitors and volume/tone/balance etc controls for stuff mostly 1930-1970 era. Cant do most stereo receiver controls, sorry (but CAN do vintage Fisher, Heathkit, Dynaco and of course radio controls for the classic brands like Zenith, RCA, Philco, etc). See the info for the next show July 19-20 in Kalamazoo at www.thevee.org and thanks to Terry of D-labs for covering this event !
I wonder who stole the tube. 43:50 ?
It is pretty bad when you're watching a video thinking what a load of crap then you spot something that you have in it all. I have one of them Sears meters at 23:41 Really I have two of them. One is slightly different than the other though.

and I thought that I had too much junk!
So you are a neighbor? I’m in Garden City
Nice video! Besides that... you have a beautiful wife! :-)
Looks like a ham fest but with much nicer looking items lol
So mad I didn't know about this.
Ugh.
Been at the same location for about 18 years now.... where you been? Mark your calendar for July 19-20 at the Kalamzoo Expo Center.... www.thevee.org also, join the MARC club that hosts these events and get advance notice and great reading... free ads too, currently $25/yr. half price if you sign up at Kzoo for half year.
