The Mid-Atlantic Antique Radio Club (MAARC) is a hobby club for those dedicated to collecting, restoring, and preserving vintage electronics. This includes radio, television, hi-fi, electrical instrument, vacuum tube, electronic test equipment, and tube-based audio gear.
When you consider that radios from the 1940’s were considered antiques when the club was established in 1984, what does that make computers and computer games from that era? Yes, MAARC members are now also dabbling in vintage computers, as illustrated in some of our recent club presentations.
MAARC members receive our monthly Radio Age publication which contains interesting and informative articles on various vintage electronics topics. Collecting antique radio and other electronic equipment is a fun and interesting pastime that appeals to a variety of folks from the pure collectors who are looking for their next great find, to the technicians and tinkerers who like to restore the electronics or refinish cabinets, to the historians and preservationists interested in the history of the technology, to those who are into it as a small business.
