Signal/One History and the Registry of Existing Signal/Ones |
I am Fred Hoffmann. I've been interested in electronics ever since I can remember. My first grade (1957) science project was a one transistor audio amplifier. I hold an Amateur Extra License - K5OG. Collecting and restoring old electronic equipment is quite a refreshing change from the all-digital world of electronics today. They were more than just boxes to hold electronics - they were part of your home and your life. I hope you enjoy these old radios and TVs as much as I do.
It is now 21 years since I first created this
site. During that time my interests have moved more toward my Amateur
Radio collection, especially my Signal/One collection. I will most likely
be selling most of my televisions and many of the radios. Problem is it
seems the value of these collectibles has fallen over the years and the cost of
shipping has gone through the roof as we subsidize Amazon's shipping rates.
This will be a slow process but since I am certain I will never restore these
radios and TVs I think it best to get them into the hands of collectors who
will.
If you have any questions (EXCEPT - "WHAT IS MY RADIO WORTH?") or comments please email me at
