Culture Night in Dublin.
This night was a very poignant one for me , as it was a year to the day that Dad was laid to rest.
I had been asked would I like to exhibit a display of Dad's lovingly restored Vintage Radios in the centre, both as a tribute to his work, and also as a contribution to Culture Night.
Over the previous 7 years, Dad had both collected, chronicled and restored a large collection of these. He loved them , and he often mitched from school, ( this was 70 years previous), to spend the day taking transistor radios and clocks apart , and then putting them all back together again ! He went on to work in electronics for the most part of this life, along with other things , of course...he had a finger in many pies.
Anyway, I exhibited 8 of them , and they went down a bomb, and then created a facebook page for them...its called " Vintage Radios Moynalty"

A few examples of his work are below.
That's a taster of a few of his radios.
In 2013, this substantial collection of about 60 vintage radios, restored to their former working order was donated to Moynalty Museum, where they are on permanent exhibit to the public, along with a very interesting collection of artefacts from all over the country.
