Coming in loud and clear — the Vintage Radio Market is back for its third year. The Asheville Radio Museum, in partnership with the Carolina Chapter of the Antique Wireless Association, will host the event on Saturday, Sept. 9 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Asheville-Buncombe Community Technical College.

Market-goers can visit + tour the museum for free, then meet vendors from all over the region selling vintage radios, parts, accessories, and books. If you have a classic radio of your own (or even just a picture of one), bring it along for some expert insight or to meet a skilled restorer.

This is your chance to learn a little more about these antique communication devices and see the amazing artistry that went into their production. Over and out.
