IDAHO FALLS – Those familiar with Doug Bohman know he loves to tinker.
The 62-year-old Rigby man has been a hot cell technician at the Idaho National Laboratory’s Naval Reactors facility for the last 18 years. In his spare time, he is often restoring and tweaking old cars and motorcycles. About three years ago, he picked up another hobby.
“I restore antique radios,” Bohman tells EastIdahoNews.com.
Placed throughout the interior of his 5,000-square-foot home are eight console radios dating back to the 1930s and 40s, all of which Bohman has spent many hours meticulously refurbishing.
