I guess my thinking is this that after the war a lot of manufacturers drop the SW bands for the new FM. I'm more of a SW guy and enjoy listen to other countries far away come though my little radio. After the war TV was just starting out and seem like the development of new features are pretty slim on AM and SW sets after '46 nor so.
I mean it would be nice to see pic of all the old Philco set from 1950 and newer but pretty boring reading as to the new stuff that was developed. The 1920's and 30's was the heyday for these sets when it was new and exciting!!
