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.
