A Reminder, sort out those radios that need a new home. Free up that display cabinet for some new acquisitions. Send those pictures in for advance advertising to get the best price for your best radios (advanced advertising ends on April 24th). As of today, the auction is 5 days away. If you are traveling from a distance, get those hotel reservations now. Hope to see you and your radios there.
the IARCHS folks.
We would like to illuminate our encyclopedia of Iowa radio manufacturers with pictures for all the different radio brands. If you have one of these radios and would like to help, please send us a nice picture to add to this website. Make sure you include the Model name and year of manufacture so we can include it in the description. We will identify you as the picture source on the site as well unless you specify otherwise. If you know of any other Iowa manufacturers that we don’t already have shown please let us know so we can add them.
Use our contact page to request an email address to send the pictures to. We had an email address here but it got spammed.

It was another great auction this year. We all had a great time and got lots of cool stuff. We will be posting 2016 auction pictures soon. Check back often for more Iowa Radio information.
I helped setup at the auction site today. Looks to be a great auction for Radio Buffs again this year, everything from tubes, transformers, battery sets, table radios, consoles and even a few modern Retro look radios still new in the box. With so many to pick from it is hard to wrap my head around which ones I want to take home with me this year. We even have a batch of radios brought here from South Dakota for even more variety. AUCTION DETAILS HERE.
Mark your calendars, empty out the car or truck and prepare yourself for another one of our Club’s unforgettable Collectable Radios, Parts, Tubes and Accessories Auctions. If you haven’t been to one yet, here is your chance, you can even stay overnight in one of Cedar Rapids Great Motels and be very rested for the festivities. Keep looking through our collection of pre-auction pictures, we might just have that radio that you have always wanted. Brent Wears and his staff is once again conducting our auction
, and we have figured out how to handle all the cool stuff even quicker. Bring a pocket full of money and take home a load of radio goodies. Hope to see you there! New pictures added 5/02/2016. 2016 AUCTION EVENT Link
