Al Capone's Philco????
#1

On a recent trip to Eastern State Penn in Philly I found an interesting fact (or non fact). Al Capone owned a 1942 Philco even though he stayed there in 1928. I tried to contact the director of ESP and see if I could at least donate a 1929 Philco model that would have been introduced in 1928 but he never responded to my requests. Pictured here is Al Capone's room. Sitting in the middle is a model A-361 (the one with the car radio inside) from 1942. I guess someone just threw an old radio in there and did not research it. Anyway, no one knows exactly what radio Al did have in his room. Records indicate it was a very fancy ornate model. Check out the pic and comment.....
