Ok All :)
    I am just a young Pup!  and I remember the old 'Edison' records (as my
Dad called 'em) they were a quarter inch thick!

    I think the trick here is how much old stuff was in our house.... I mean
with parents born in the early 20's we had lots of stuff :)

   One thing that I loved was the old radio that my Grandfather had bought
after coming to America between the wars... a floor standing model!  has
every band on it... except FM... it hadn't been invented/discovered? yet...
I would love to find out how to get it working again... it worked when I was
a kid (last turned on in 1969 for the moon landing!)  Yes... this is the
same radio that heard the famous Day of Infamy speech and Armstrong's words
from the moon!  Has a 'Cat Eye' for a tuning meter...

   Anyone know of any good web sites for this type of radio?

    And we won't even mention the Buck Roger's Disintegrator (Cap) Pistols
that we used every 4th of July!  Still do actually!!

Thanks,
Art "love the older things in life :) " Bahrs
