Thanks for that BBC tip. It's also available for online streaming. I'm listening to a comedy show from 1968 right now.

Hi James.
This is a radio we have in our living room. It was in my wife's family for many years. This one has a record player which played 78rpm records. Though we don't use it, the radio and record player still work.
To go with the radio is a copy of White's Radio Log which listed radio stations from everywhere.

That looks like a good restoration project.

Classics. Evocative picture that allows our aging synapses to get hot-wired at least a few moments. Nice touch, James. The wood burning upstairs keeps a few thoughts alive of Amos & Andy and Richard Diamond.

Excellent point Jim... problem is there aren't any people producing such programming these days and no one would listen to them... they're all to busy on their pads.
Ah... hum, what happened?

I collect old radios and have over 100 of the old table top tube models. Remember waiting for the things to warm up?
Now I mostly collect the old transistor radios from the '50s through the '60s due to space limitations.

I grew up in Kansas. At night I could pick up AM stations from Chicago to Texas and even Mexico! It was like magic!
Yep...I grew up in western Missouri (which could be considered eastern Kansas)...we probably listened to many of the same stations. KAAY out of Little Rock Ark was one of my favorites with Beaker Street.

Thanks for the tip Mark...afraid I don't have a smart phone or even a smart brain anymore. But I see jerry has found a online stream, so I will be checking that out.
Yea, I seem to find a wide variety of stuff to photograph...I find almost anything interesting. So glad you enjoy my diversity.

I've heard of these (listening to C. Crain commercials on Art Bell)...may have to check into one. Does it get its signal over the internet? Or how's it work?

That's pretty cool Stash...I'd hang on to it. I got a kick out of the radio log cover. Reminded me of myself setting at a table late at night writing down the stations I found. This book would have made that a lot easier!

Am I the only one to remember KOMA broadcasts from OK City? I stayed awake all night it seemed to listen to the four hour broadcast from 1am to 5am. Most times fell asleep listening. LOL! BTW James, great pic of a classic.
