Mom had that blender, in a yellow color.

Wow, I didn't know Capitol Records sold stereos.

Trying to identify the "famous Capitol artists" shown in the ad. From left to right, I've got Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Dinah Shore, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Unknown (but maybe Johnny Mercer), Ray Anthony, and three more Unknowns...to me! Can anybody tell who they are?

The IC refrigerator must not have been around for long. Has anyone ever heard of it? There is a patent for an ice making machine issued to a Charles C. Spreen in 1929, assigned to Kelvinator, so it must have been the guy mentioned in the ad.

I really like that Frigidaire window AC. Not only was it very attractive for the times, it had two rotary compressors operating independently. You could use just one if it wasn't that hot.

It probably weighed a ton, though.

Hi suds!
What I can tell you is that Capitol indeed sold stereos but they were manufactured for them by another company.
Possibly VM, or Admiral, maybe GE, not sure of the exact brand, it's been years since I worked on one.

Well, that's not too surprising they had a subcontractor. I bet it wasn't RCA!

Did you ever work on a CBS-Columbia stereo? That's another one that I didn't know existed until seeing old ads--they made TVs, too.

Hiya again suds.
All I can tell you is that from 1991 up to 2016, when I finally retired from the last repair shop I slaved over for those 25 years, I've worked on virtually every brand name (A-to-Z) that came in the door.
I specialized on Vintage Restorations, since there wasn't many of us professionals educated in such things.
Getting older, it got harder to climb inside those huge consoles, and the other techs used to say that one day they'll wind up being my coffin! LOL!
What a way to GO!...... someone put on a Patsy Cline record!... Sweet Dreams!
I love that girl, and in 2005 her husband Charlie shook my hand, and daughter Julie kissed my cheek at an dedication event in Winchester Va.
Of course, the tv-vcr-tape decks and modern stuff kept me busy as all heck.
But at least I left a great legacy and thousands of pleased customers.
