<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">I just looked at the photos and the price. I didn't read the contents of the ad, probably the best thing to do in this case. Radio was a huge thing when it became available. Everyone was talking about it...unless you worked at the Victor Talking Machine Company. They forbid it's discussion and would dismiss employees just for talking about it. It's true, yet years later they merged with Radio Corporation of America to become RCA Victor.</span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">I've mentioned this before, but as a kid at the appliance store, there was a very cool old guy named Percy. At one time he was the chauffeur for the Spreckles family (sugar) in old San Francisco. Percy's job was to test all the console color TV's before they went out on delivery. There was a high failure rate. He loved to talk about radio and television. He said that there was a garage where the chauffeurs of San Francisco's wealthy would gather. One of the topics they enjoyed talking about was radio. Some of them heard that "they" were working on sending pictures through the air, but no one thought that was possible. I had an interesting childhood filled with interesting people. </span>
