Philco 39-80B
#9

I enjoyed the historical perspectives, I often think beyond the sound coming out of a radio and wonder what else was listened to, by who, and what their station was in life, kinda neat. 


Many people only look at a radio or radio through the lens of the current world and miss what it may have really meant.

On an other note Farm Sets are often overlooked due to power supply issues, some of them are good receivers and are neat links to a pre electrification society. 

Too bad many of them are overlooked.
