CHRS is Selling Coleman radios online - CHRS has about 500 restored radios from the estate of our late member Jim Coleman, consigned to us, 50/50, by his estate. These radios are restored unless otherwise stated and are ready to display and play. Radios from the Coleman collection made up the bulk of our auction last July. They also have been for sale at our Museum Store at KRE and at our meets. We need to sell these radios to reduce monthly storage charges. CHRS has two online venues for selling the Coleman collection. So check these sites often as the radios will change as new ones are added until we sell them all. Please click on these links to view and purchase radios: RADIO SHOWROOM... Collectable Radios for Sale & on eBay.
