Hi Mike,
Enjoyed the video, it's made the rounds over the years on the forums. I didn't remember pre Philco stuff (video). However I did recognize the theme a from favorite radio shows. It's a show about radio broadcasting and how it's done and the folks that do it. It's called Behind The Mike. First broadcast in 1940. I find it very interest.

Enjoy

I have Philco 65 just like the ones going down the assembly line in that video. Ok, it could be a few other models, but I like to think it's mine. Icon_smile

Another highlight: application of lacquer (I think) around 22:25. Check out how carefully it is applied.
