Q: How and when did you get started with vending?
A: I was watching a documentary that chronicled the history of the country. Radios were prominently featured as both centerpieces of family gatherings as well as a gateway to the world. I thought about all the world changing events that passed through these devices. Sadly traditional airway radio broadcasts are quickly fading away into history and radios are becoming relics of a bygone technology. Seeing radios as important historical artifacts, I felt they should be preserved and enjoyed as they once were. With the advent of the global internet and Bluetooth technology, these resurrected radios can now proudly play sounds of the world as they once did.
