I have a VEF radio, in my collection. A rather interesting set, seems to be well built.
I talked with a Gentleman that came from Cuba, in the early 60's. His family had an early Admiral TV. I also understand that there many old US made appliances, still in use there, Refridgerators, ETC. Of course, we know about the cars.
I used to listen to Radio, Havana, Cuba during the Russian missile crisis. I was scared sh*tless, as I thought that we were going to be involved in a Nuclear war.
