Re: New 18 in "Philco home Radios"
#6

Steve Davis
Worked ! Thanx. It's nice to know that it functions as designed, but it really was sort of a non issue. I never tune across the dial. In my area of Southern California, the only signals in the air are incessant talk and music in Spanish. I can remember back to the last few years of NBC's Monitor Radio, "Your's Truly, Johnny Dollar" and some really good (to my 10 year old ears) science fiction shows. Now there is no more commercial Broadcasting, just Narrowcasting. So my AM radios play what I broadcast. Music from the 30's and 40's and Old Time shows. Kind of sad actually.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the radio was removed before bidding was over so I didn't get a chance to bid.dconant — 04:10 PM
