• Antique Radio Grille Cloth - Grille cloth for sale, plus a gallery of vintage ads and illustrations.
• Antique Radios Online - Has an excellent discussion forum, for restoration tips from experts.
• Antique Radio Page: Directory - An alphabetical index of radios elsewhere on the Web, in private collections. It is organized alphabetically by manufacturer or brand name, then by model number or name. Not a lot of Canadian entries yet, however.
• Antique Radio Pictures - This is a growing collection of images of radios, sorted by manufacturer and model.Visitor contributions are encouraged. [May be slow to connect.]
• Baby Champ - An excellent site by Norman Walz, with photos and other detailed information about the Northern Electric line of Baby Champ "rainbow" cabinet radios and related products. He has articles on dial face variations, DIY reproduction of hard-to-find parts (such as dial face covers, knobs, and hank antenna reels), and PDFs of service data sheets aand schematics, as published by Northern Electric (not the RCC data sheets).

• Open Directory Project, category Recreation: Antiques: Radio - I have to say nice things about this because I'm the editor for it.
• PhilcoRadio.com - The online presence of Ron Ramirez Enterprises, a great source of restoration information on vintage Philco radio receivers. Ron's been quite helpful with my Philco projects.
• Phil's Old Radios - Antique Radio Home Page - This is one of my favourite sites, with his large personal collection of radios, restoration project stories, and restoration tips.
• The Radio Page - Chris King's collection of wooden consoles, cathedrals, tombstones, table models, and plastic radios. Many of his sets are Canadian models. One particularly interesting feature is a gallery of closeups of dials, including some that are lit up in the dark.
