Oh, man ! That's at least half the fun of having old radios & TVs-messing w/"civilians" minds when you turn 'em on.A goodly number of these kids have never seen a black & white TV, let alone anything else from the 1940s-when I flip on the '48 Admiral 7" bakelite, that floors 'em. So does the little Philco Safari-WOW !! That's Keeewwwlll ! Or the '48 3" Pilot-EVERYBODY wants one of those when they see it. (They really are cute little guys, after all.) I've had folks here from Argentina who about went ape over the Zenith roundie-& it don't even work. Apparently, they didn't have roundies in Argentina, or they were exceedingly rare. Another thing that floors people who come here are the sheer number of TVs & radios I have-maybe I really am a little "teched" in the head...But I do get a lot of "Gee, we had one just like that when I was a kid..." -Sandy G.
