My biggest hobby is radios, I collect them
Joseph worked in telecommunications as a joint technician thirty-five years ago. It started at a time when phone numbers were dialing on a round brown-board bachelite dial. He also mentioned the first mobile phone in the early 1990 ‘ s, which was as big and as heavy as a brick. At the time it was the most modern model of connecting technology. Joiners were thrilled when they were able to reach Bratislava from the petrol station in Červeník. The phone cost a hundred thousand kroner back then.
As an enthusiastic amateur, he built various electronic devices and still can repair old radios. You’ve become his lifelong love, he collects them. Due to space at home accumulates especially smaller, transistor radios. In his collection you will find fifty of these almost forgotten devices. He inherited the first piece in the collection from his father and was made 76 years ago.
