How cool! Thank you for sharing, Bill!
Yes I tried to send in my order for the air conditioner bed but could find no website. Well I will try again tomorrow.
I ordered one of those “air-conditioned beds” straight away! I will write a review when it comes.
World Radio History is a fantastic site. One can easily get lost in its archives. I have found it useful source for data on old radios.
At 66, I look back at an earlier time of my childhood with fondness of a simpler time. I love looking at videos showing pictures or videos of that era.
Going to junk shops, flea markets in the Ozark mountains give me a sense of wonder looking at items from the late 1800s to the mid 1900s.
I remember magazines showing ads for radios and other electronics, and don’t so much I wish I had all of the radios of that time, but had started collecting the magazines, and sale brochures, catalogs etc. Just to be able to remember that time period.
I may start hitting various sites to search for electronic catalogs, articles etc, just for the nostalgia, and to keep a bit of history intact for those of a future time who may have an interest.
