"Museum" in San Luis Obispo, CA

[Ian Webb]

I visited  Bob's Radio & TV in San Luis Obispo, CA recently.  He has an
extensive eclectic collection of early radios ranging from the very
earliest with polished wooden cases to 1950s plastics and metals (some
even have been chromed for who knows what reason).  He also has a lot of

miscellaneous radio related items and TV sets.  Some restored and
operating (he played a couple) and some not yet restored or in
progress.  He appears to **NOT** be interested in selling radios or
parts but is happy to show you around.

He does repair in the back and seems to specialize in automobile radios,

including converting to solid state guts or adding FM modules - all
without changing the outward appearance.  He's planning on moving to an
old super market in Pismo Beach in the next year so he has more space
and can better display his "museum."

If you are traveling Hwy 101 between Los Angeles and San Francisco and
have interest and some spare time, I'd suggest dropping by.

Bob's Radio & Tv, 2300 Broad St., San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
1-805-543-2946
It's on the right hand side of the street heading north and is on a
corner as you go towards the downtown from the south.

Broad is one of the old highways through town and from the south
traveling north on Hwy 101 you can get off at Price Canyon just before
Pismo Beach, go to the end of the road and turn left onto Broad heading
north.  Continuing north you can continue on Broad, through downtown San

Luis Obispo and rejoin Highway 101.

>From the north traveling south on Hwy 101 as you get into the San Luis
Obispo exits take the Broad Street exit, wander around the Mission area
and through the "downtown" and on down Broad St..  It's on the left
perhaps half a mile as you leave the older downtown area.  When you
leave continue on down Broad past the airport and turn right onto Price
Canyon and back to Hwy 101 in the Pismo Beach area.
