Subject:  Replica radios

  A reader asked if replica radios enhance the OTR
listening experience. In my case at least, they
definitely do. And when I say "they," I mean "they"!
You see, I have at least 25 replicas (plus a couple of
"real" old time radios). One replica already has an
auxiliary input, and I've plugged my Rio Volt into it
to hear OTR on MP3. I broadcast to another replica
from my computer, using a very short-range FM
transmitter. If I had the need, I could also plug my
place my iRock portable transmitter into my iRiver MP3
player and place both atop a replica, and the sound
would come from the radio when tuned to [removed], [removed],
[removed], or [removed] MHz. But enough is enough -- something
my wife has been saying for years about my radio
collecting.
    As for another reader who is tempted by an
abandoned old time radio and has to keep repeating
that it doesn't work, I say: What's that got to do
with it?!

 From Those Were The Days --

9/27

1933 - NBC debuted Waltz Time, featuring the orchestra of Abe Lymon. The
program continued on the network until 1948.

1938 - Thanks for the Memory was heard for the first time on The Bob
Hope Show -- on the NBC Red network.

9/28

1936 - Bachelor's Children debuted on CBS (at 9:45 [removed]) in addition to
its schedule on the Mutual Network (at 10:15 [removed]). The show's theme
song, Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life, opened the 15-minute, critically
acclaimed, daily serial. Bachelor's Children became very popular because
of its natural dialogue which made folks think they were hearing a real
event. Bachelor's Children ... brought to you by Old Dutch Cleanser,
Palmolive-Peet Soap, Colgate Toothpaste and Wonder Bread.

1939 - The final broadcast of The Fleischmann Hour was heard. The star
of the show, Rudy Vallee, wrapped things up after a decade of
entertaining radio.

Dear Gregg-
(And Hal, & cast-)
Just a friendly Thespic Warning:
having worked with Ted Reid in one of Arthur Anderson's shows I'll paraphrase
John Barrymore's comment re: his brother Lionel - "Watch out - he'll steal
everything in the room that isn't nailed down!"
Attendees will attest that that "ADVENTURE OF FU MANCHU" became "THE
ADVENTURE OF THE SCREWY OLD PROFESSOR (in the fu manchu case)"!

Subject:  Tape recordings in 1945

I've been asked to post this for Bernard Wichert in Germany:

A couple of weeks ago the question had come up when and if tape recorders
were used. I mentioned the use of it conc. German recordings.
I now have got a recording of [removed], 1945. It is Radio Moscow in
German language with a New Year's Eve celebration for German PoWs in a
German Camp in the SU. The female announcer said: "You have been
listening to a report recorded on magnetic tape." That can only mean that
Radio Moscow, too, must have had a recorder.
