Here is a list of the radio related magazines I have for exchange with other collectors. There is a list of magazines I need here.
This page was last updated on Sunday, the 12th May 2023.
If I have more than one of any particular issue, the number I have will follow in brackets e.g. (2), Likewise, if the cover is missing I will follow with (NC) or if the condition isn’t great I’ll follow with (NG).
Remember that these magazines are like many of us…they’re getting on in years a bit. They won’t be perfect but are in great condition. Where I list a run of magazines, I’d like them to go together as far as possible.
I’m happy to swap one for one on the likes of Practical Wireless, Radio Constructor and SPRAT, but eBay demands higher prices for the likes of Radio Bygones and Radiophile, so there will need to be adjustment either way; UNLESS you are one of the collectors I have been dealing with for some time. This is purely to prevent profiteering.
