$10 Fake Philco Baby Grand radio and a boring weekend
#34

I’m wondering now if that radio dad put on the counter might have been from a Buick. It was a big all in one radio with a nice size speaker but ugly as all get out. I know mom wasn’t thrilled with it but she would never complain, dad was the boss. I was only around 10 at the time so I don’t remember too many details other than I can still see the transformer he mounted on top and being impressed by the fact that a window screen worked as an antenna!
