Philco Radio Story
#1

I found this in YouTube thought I'd post the link. It may be well known or maybe not. It's a neat video.

Its amazing to think that your console (if you own that model) may have been pictured on that assymbly line.

What would be really amazing is if you removed your chassis and it was bent a little from that guy jumping on it in the movie.

I like to see what all went into making radios back then. Seems all the manufacturers built everything in house, unlike today where almost everything is farmed out.

I used to love the smell of laquers.
And who knew then that so pleasant a smell could cause cancer.Then again, smoking was a positive thing.

It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.
