[Boatanchors] Question from an admitted 'Newbie'

[The Pollacks]

My opinion?  A boatanchor is any radio that is not currently manufactured,
that brings back nostalgic feelings, especially ones we longed for in our
younger days.  So, this depends perhaps more on the age of the owner than
the age of the radio!

Call it a boatanchor, vintage, antique, classic, old radio, pile of junk,
whatever you want.  If you enjoy it, that's all that counts!

BTW....what does "vice military" mean?

Is there any kind of general consensus on exactly what is or isn't a
'boatanchor'? I'm a 72 yo and BAs to me are the post-WW2 tubes sets made for
the commercial (vice military) market on up to the advent and eventual
dominance of the so-called 'solid state' rigs. It seems clear to me that
others' definitions go back to a somewhat earlier time and do include
re-cycled military gear. What is the general consensus, please.
