Subject: FM Radio Makes The Ads

Message Detail:


You could fire-up your new $99.95 Admiral record/radio combo (first with FM!) and listen to stereo! Well, not really, even with that "Miracle" tone arm! Still in the vacuum tube world days! No year provided, but I'm guessing the late '40's, maybe 1947. Wasn't much on the FM band, mainly talk, I'm told. Notice the dial markings, "KC" (KiloCycles) and "MC" (MegaCycles) - not yet Hz (Hertz) and "BC" for the AM band! Even a hand tinted photo! Not the greatest screen printing! I tinted the popcorn; feel free to have some!...

Best,
John
