- I corrected the GE A-82 page, which called the radio a model A-70 in the text below the main image. Evidence suggests that this error existed since I added the A-82 to my website in September 1998. (The page title and my Wood Radios page have shown the correct model number.)

- On the Answer ATR-102 page I wrote "I'm not sure what's triple about this Triplecorder. The top of the box says "Radio, Phonograph & Tape Recorder," but I can see only double, as in radio and tape recorder. There's no phonograph or even a place to attach one." My mistake. My Triplecorder was incomplete. It isn't anymore. See the revised page. Thanks to the several collectors who alerted me about this error; I apologize for taking so long to fix it.

- It's been almost a year and I haven't added any new radios. Life has gotten in the way of my hobby, and I've been focused on less-enjoyable things. Although I don't foresee adding radios in the future at anywhere near the rate of the past few years, I have several sets waiting in the wings to be restored and added here. I hope this past year when no radios were added will prove to be an anomaly.
What I have been doing over the past year, however, is adding many "radio paper" scans to individual radio pages here. So take a look at some of your favorite radios—you just might be pleasantly surprised to see some images from factory literature, advertisements, or operating instructions.

- I added an Admiral 517-5G, an Emerson 420, a Radiola 526, RCA Victor 8X682 and 9TX31 models, and a Silvertone 7008 to my Plastic Radios page.
- I added a Freshman Masterpiece 675, a Silvertone 4663, and a Zenith 6D426 to my Wood Radios page.
- I added a Commodore/Hi-lite YTR-601 pair, a Highwave / Star-Lite "HiFi Deluxe" pair, and a Raleigh 6YR-65 to my Transistor Radios page.
- After years of bragging that I had been a well-rounded collector because I accumulated some clocks, wristwatches and Christmas lights in addition to radios, I decided that more specialization would be a good thing. So I deleted the "Non-Radio Antiques" page, and its subsidiary Christmas Lights, Clocks and Wristwatches pages. They're gone. Outta here. Sorry.
- Tape recorders now have their own page, on an equal footing with the other old things on this site. I added a bunch of Japanese-made cuties: an Aiwa TP-1003, an Encorder 400, a Juliette LT-44, and a Mayfair TR-1964.
