Hi Joe,
Thanks--that's cool--"even before my time"-- but I wonder if they were aware that all that needed to be done to use earphones is to drill the hole for the jack ? Ron Rich

The Internet is a marvelous thing, however it's not a good substitute for actually being there.
What great times these must have been.

Hi Gordo,
I often wonder--I recall speaking with one of my grandfathers about what he saw happen in his life--I recall he mentioned the trains, and automobile (BUS for him, as he never drove), and the most important thing in his opinion, was the radio. For some reason the "Telly" never interested him--he had a small 12-15 inch black and white one, but he told me he seldom, to never, turned it on--unless the radio needed "new glasses" (Valves to you--tubes to me).
