I really enjoyed reading this post! - and the pics too. I think it's like with early radio. You tweak an old three-dialer and then get a flat tinny sound out of the horn. You have to realize that with something so new and amazing, it was all a total thrill. Same with all the issues of TV when it first appeared. I heard many people would turn their sets on and just look at the test pattern in amazement. In Queens, NY around 1948, my father said a neighbor bought a projection set (guess he had a few bucks!) and Tuesday night was a big event for the him and the neighbors to go over and watch the Texaco Star Theater. My father remembered being facinated by it.
