There's a real eclectic mix of things here.
This is 1800s.
Early electrics, which is antique lighting.
These are all original.
And we have Radio Guy Antiques,
which is all the other crazy stuff.
These are prosthetic legs with bowling shoes.
Could be anything from a prosthetic arm
to an airplane engine, you never know.
We have a big collection of early cameras.
I always liked antiques.
It was always part of my life.
I liked the hunt.
And I never sold anything.
Now that I have a shop, I don't have to argue with my wife,
do I really need it?
You find things like, here's an old boat from a carousel.
This is an old arcade machine for strength.
These horned violins.
Retired, bought the building, started filling it.
Better than sitting home. If I sat home, I'd be, I'd weigh 300 pounds.
These are our early scientific classroom demonstrations.
These are static electric
generators. I like things that have personality,
so I collected, these are called visor masks.
French, English, American. We have a lot of radio equipment.
I have to always give people a tour
and the guess is, what is this? What is that?
This is World War I. This is from the mid-1800s.
It's all papier-mâché.
This is 1948, it's a twin bicycle with a Whizzer engine on it.
Some things they recognize, some things,
oh my father had that and my grandfather had that, but
we try and look for things that are different.
I like to find things that
I've never seen before. People walk in and they say,
Is this a museum? And I go, if you don't buy anything,
it's a museum, but it's all for sale. They can own anything.
You never know what you're going to find.
That's part of the charm of the place. So that's really the fun for me.
