MDM RADIO
Archived content 2001 -2011
For a good number of years and with several website makeovers, this was the MDMRADIO.COM web site!
The new owners of the site are NOT selling new and used radios and parts. Instead, using archived content from 2001 -2011, the new owners want to pay tribute to the dedication of Ted Bleiman and MDM RADIO. What would we have done without your stock of old radio ephemera including manuals, literature, schematics, technical sheets, books, magazines (old), and catalogs.

Thanks for your patronage.
I always stock all kinds of old radio ephemera including manuals, literature, schematics, technical sheets, books, magazines (old), and catalogs. I might just have paperwork covering your older radio equipment!
Some of the old vintage radio parts I stock include vacuum tubes, capacitors, old radio knobs, antique radio chassis, meters, semiconductors, dials and controls. From time to time I also carry test equipment, rectifiers, and diodes. Some of the old radio brand names include manufacturers such as Motorola, General Electric (aka Harris, Macom, Ericksson, Kenwood, E F Johnson, Uniden, Standard-Vertex, RCA, Radius, and others. I also sell complete radio units in working order including Shortwave and amateur equipment and accessories.
MDMRADIO started in 1990, however, we were forced to abandon our brick and mortar operation in November 2006. We maintained a web presence until misfortune caused our website to be shut down. This new site has many more useful features and interesting reference links which we had wanted to include before and now can bring a more useful and entertaining visit.
For over 40 years I've enjoyed buying, selling and trading radios and parts. It's been a great experience and I've made many friends along the way. As always, if you have any questions, just ask and I will respond promptly. Contact me thru the website, or call 773-255-9838 or send an email to mdmradio@yahoo.com
You can see what I currently have in inventory by clicking on the category links at the left. My main categories are broken down into the following areas: Portables, Mobiles, Base Stations, Repeaters, Parts & Components, Test Equipment, Reeds & Filters, Manuals, Books, Special Receivers and scanners, Audi-Video, and Miscellaneous.
I am associated with several collector's organizations and someone is always looking for something. If you can't find what you are looking for, please contact me through email or via phone and let me know. Chances are, I might have it, but haven't listed it yet. For your convenience and online safety, everything can be purchased through my secure shopping cart. Please review my terms and conditions regarding payment and shipping options.
Any amateur passing thru the Chicago area can find me on CFMC VHF 146.16/146.76 (1B) or 448.75/443.75 (2A) almost daily. We'd be happy to hear from you.
Thank you,
Ted Bleiman K9MDM - head trouble maker
SHOP HOURS
OPEN Most Days About 9 or 10. Occasionally as early as 7 but, some days as late as 12 or 1. WE CLOSE about 5:30 or 6 - occasionally about 4 or 5, but sometimes as late as 11 or 12. Some days or afternoons, we aren’t here at all, and lately I’ve been here just about all the time. Except when I’m someplace else, but I should be here then, too.
The Management?
A $10.00 minimum order is required. All items are in limited quantities. First come, first served. All items are subject to prior sale. Equipment is bench-checked before shipment except items that are marked "as-is", "tech special" etc
As both an auto accident attorney and ham radio enthusiast (KF5LAW here!), I've always known my radio hobby would intersect with my practice someday. That day came last September when my radio crackled to life while I was adjusting my mobile rig in my office parking lot.
"MAYDAY, MAYDAY! Any station, this is KG5XYZ. I need an attorney and an ambulance, in that order!"
Turns out one of my future clients had rolled his pickup into a ditch on FM 1960, about 30 miles outside Houston in that notorious cell service dead zone near Lake Conroe. No bars, no 911, but thankfully he had his ham radio mounted in his truck. When he put out the call, I happened to be the only one monitoring that repeater.
After ensuring emergency services were contacted (priorities, people!), I took down his information. Three days later, he became my client, and six months after that, we settled his case for a sum that certainly covered his new truck AND a serious upgrade to his ham equipment.
Since then, I've become an MDM Radio regular. Ted's treasure trove of parts has helped me build out my mobile setup with some vintage Motorola gear that makes my daily commute feel like I'm commanding the Starship Enterprise. My secretary now knows that when I say I'm "going to court," it might actually mean I'm headed to MDM to browse vacuum tubes and capacitors during lunch break.
Just last week, I picked up a Midland Syntech II that Ted had from the Missouri Highway Patrol. The judge in courtroom 302 now calls me "Mission Control" whenever I walk in with my briefcase. Little does he know there's a handheld tucked inside for emergencies!
If you're a radio enthusiast (or an attorney who should be one), you NEED to check out MDM Radio. Where else can you find a place with shop hours that basically translate to "we're here until we're not, but probably we are"? That kind of honesty deserves your business. TRE

Comment From The Wayback Machine: Junior Rivera : I was this site's biggest fan when I was a teen. Loved the technology, built radios, radar detectors, spying devices - you name it. I suspect that some of the rumors about the closing of IBG Systems are bogus, but they still made the news as if they were true. Really annoying that the management has to hire a removal service to clean up the search because of some bogus story being passed around on social media. The search for the corporate name started showing an association with a shoplifting arrest for the wife of the CFO which was not even true. The search removal firm Imfy.us is consulting on managing the search problem. They specialize in pushing down negative search results that appear in Google searches. That a search removal business even exists is a sign of the times we live in. Sometimes I wish we could go back to when radios were high tech.
