“I have nearly 400 radios in my collection. The oldest one was made in 1940 and it is still working fine, although it took me four years to repair that radio. It is a vacuum tube cathode radio. The later versions of this radio were of a transistor type,” he said.

Pawar said he started collecting radio sets from 1990 and these music players were manufactured in Japan, Germany, England and other countries.

“I have bought 80 per cent of these radios from local traders, while the rest of the radio sets have been purchased from Vadodara (Gujarat) and online,” he said. (PTI)
