Texas-based society preserving and restoring antique radios and phonographs for enthusiasts.
Description
The Vintage Radio and Phonograph Society (VRPS) is a non-profit historical organization, incorporated in Texas, serving enthusiasts in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and surrounding regions. Its core mission revolves around the preservation and restoration of antique radios and phonographs, fostering a community for those with a general interest in early wireless technology and vintage audio equipment.
The society actively supports the new radio/TV museum in Kilgore, TX, demonstrating its commitment to broader historical preservation efforts. Members engage in activities such as "Show and Tell" days, where they bring items for discussion, and participate in an annual convention.
Events like the Spring Auction and the 2026 VRPS Convention, scheduled for October 23-25 at the Grapevine Convention Center, provide opportunities for members to connect, share knowledge, and acquire vintage pieces. The organization also highlights related events, such as the Houston Vintage Radio Association's 2026 convention.
