As someone once told me "do not underestimate the electronics of the golden era". Every generation thinks they are more advanced than the previous because they do not "know". Most people think of AM radios as cheesy little plastic things from K Mart. They have not listened to a symphony on a Phine Philco, Scott, or Stromberg. If they knew they would give more credit to and understand why Radio ruled for 30 odd years. You are a lucky one. Sounds like a Yodaism....
