Welcome to Tom's Designer Radios website. My name is Tom Kipgen. I am a retired S*P*A*M salesman. I sold the fine products that Hormel produces. Now I like working in my shop building various radio and guitar projects.
To see my projects, click on the links on the upper left. I sell a variety of crystal sets, tube radios as well as some other neat stuff.
Along with my radio projects, I sell catswhisker detector stands and coil winders and brass tube plate caps.

My Recent Project
The LaserRadio
This Laser Radio I built on consignment for a gentleman in the Northeast. His inspiration came from the very first James Bond 007 movie from way back and he provided all the planned dimensions and hoped for features. After reviewing all his input I was able to explain what was possible and what was not and made suggestions for modifications as needed. The process required a good deal of communication as we worked through all of the details and the end results are just outstanding. Goto my LaserRadio page.
