around with alternating current is just a waste of time. Nobody will
use it, ever." -- Thomas Edision,
1889

PM.
Meeting
location:
Princeton
NJARC
meetings are held at one of two locations: Bowen Hall on the campus of
Princeton University in Princeton NJ, and at InfoAge in Wall Township,
NJ in Building

of the same building that houses our Radio
Technology Museum.)

meeting.
"Alternative Collections" (What else do you collect besides
radios?)
At
our May meeting, we'll be hosting our first meeting that's NOT
dedicated to antique radio collecting.
"Alternative Collections" will focus on other things that our members
collect in addition to antique radios. Most antique radio collectors
seem to also have at least one vintage car. Many have a juke box. Some
collect postcards. Or World's Fair memorabilia.
Come to our May meeting and find out what other weird things your radio
friends are interested in.

welcome to attend and join. Several times a year, the club sponsors a swapmeet
featuring an antique radio flea market and auction.
