Canadian Vintage Radio Society

The SPARC Museum is located Near Vancouver BC and has many examples of Canadian radios. If you are In BC and haven't seen the museum it is well worth the time. The members are very helpful to us in providing information and have a wealth of knowledge at their disposal. The number and quality of material they have on display is overwhelming, thanks to many who have donated historic radios. Many of the members also spend countless hours restoring radios for display, and they also have a large inventory of parts and a restoration area to accomplish ongoing restorations.
SPARC RADIO MUSEUM

Radiomuseum.org has over 135,000 radios in their database, and they also have software to upload photos, schematics and photos. There are 55,120 US models and 421 Canadian models. Vitor Oliveira from Portugal has loaded up nearly all Canadian radio models, Thank You Vitor, for your great efforts have helped many Canadian radio collectors.

As we all know Canadian radios have not been as well documented as many of the US models, at least not as far as looking for schematics on the internet is concerned. I encourage anyone who has a bit of time to assist in submitting data to Rmorg, and to use the resource, It is growing rapidly due to a lot hard work from Ernest and Konrad, who have put together a well structured database with refined search engines, as well as many members who have contributed to the combined effort. The webspace and hardware needed to run a resource like this is much more than the CVRS could afford on it's own.

Just like the CVRS, Radiomuseum relies on it's members being involved and uploading information and participating , this is a wonderful example how helping each other and networking benefits all concerned.

The Antique Wireless Association is south of Rochester New York. They have a really nice website where you can take a virtual tour of the display. www.antiquewireless.org
