You're coming in on a nineteen 317 00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:00.440 thirty seven Filko. This is a model thirty seven six 318 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:05.559 thirty X console. It's a three band AM and shortwave 319 00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:11.920 with the infamous or maybe not so infamous shadow dial tuner, 320 00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:15.519 which they'll go to their credit did not want to 321 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:19.480 pay RCA for patent rights to the magic ittube, so 322 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:23.519 they made their own. And it's basically little orange opening 323 00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:28.160 and two little fingers kind of come together or and 324 00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:30.920 I guess the way it works. It's partly mechanical, which 325 00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:33.599 is kind of cool, but it's kind of an opaque 326 00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:40.799 little or oval dial and this little needle moves back 327 00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:44.400 and forth, and the faster it moves, the wider the 328 00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:48.160 black range blocks out the light. I know I'm describing 329 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.720 this worst ever, but basically it's like two fingers coming 330 00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:54.359 together or moving apart, and that's how you can tell 331 00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:57.759 if you've tuned in the radio eyes and just listen. 332 00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:01.000 That kind of helps to two fingers coming together means 333 00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:05.200 you've got a signal right, exactly right, Okay. 334 00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:09.519 All right, so I'm eighty dollars do this thing today 335 00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:11.960 would be about seventeen hundred and fifty bucks. And then 336 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:16.039 the words of Judge right hold and ruthless people for 337 00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:18.640 the seven people other than myself that saw that movie, 338 00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:20.440 just effing finance it. 339 00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:27.640 Yeah, that's the thing to in nineteen thirty seven. Eighty dollars. 340 00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:33.559 Is equal seventeen hundred dollars thereabouts today, and that's without 341 00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:34.440 Biden inflation. 342 00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:36.440 So, oh my gosh. 343 00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:40.759 So it's it was quite an investment to buy a 344 00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:44.440 radio for the family, you know, and then a couple 345 00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:47.000 of years later they're trying to foist a TV on you, 346 00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:51.599 which I can't even imagine what the price of those 347 00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:56.960 first models was for a family. And that's why not 348 00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:00.400 everyone on the block had a radio that nice anyway, 349 00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.640 and certainly not everyone on the block would have a TV. 350 00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.200 I mean, there were times I remember listening to older 351 00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:11.599 relatives say, well, yeah, the mcginley's were the only ones 352 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:13.880 on the block that had a TV. We'd go out 353 00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:20.319 over and peer through their front window, keeping Tom TV 354 00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:21.640 because they had a TV. 355 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:26.319 But yeah, the radios were the main source of entertainment 356 00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:29.279 and especially news and so forth. You could go to 357 00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:32.039 the dealer and they treat it like selling the car 358 00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:33.039 would be today. 359 00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.440 Well, I mean to put it in perspective, think about 360 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:42.000 what the average person's salary was, the average salary of 361 00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:45.240 the median salary of nineteen thirty seven. We were still 362 00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:51.400 in the Great Depression, and so it was really a 363 00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:52.720 luxury to have a radio. 364 00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:56.839 Absolutely. Hey, you want to go to the catalog. 365 00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:01.039 Sure, let's hear the description of this beautiful. 366 00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:07.359 Beast American and foreign. That's an interesting start until it 367 00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.880 says three tuning rangions with glowing beam, tuning range indicator, 368 00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:16.440 pen toed audio system. Well, I know that's sold all 369 00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:21.839 of us now, because you know what that means. No, Like, okay, 370 00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:22.759 the kind of tube? 371 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:23.319 Does that matter? 372 00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:27.400 I love this fil Co color dial with fifty percent 373 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:32.920 greater separation on foreign stations now number one. This is 374 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:36.039 kind of cool because the tuning dial, the tuning knob, 375 00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:39.599 it's a two part knob. If you tune the center part, 376 00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:42.920 it's fine tuning. You tune the outer part, it's more 377 00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:49.079 coast course tuning. Excuse me, that works really well. The 378 00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:52.200 color dial, yes, it is a color dial. It's orange. 379 00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:56.920 It's not a second color to it, but I love this. 380 00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:02.920 The inclined sounding board filks. All the Filco models illustrated 381 00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:06.559 on this page feature the famous Pilco. The famous Pilco 382 00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:11.359 inclined sounding board the greatest single advance in scientific sound reproduction. 383 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.359 Though it's marvels, you can enjoy a truly lifelike reproduction 384 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.519 of speech and music. The slope directs the high noise 385 00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:23.200 treble up to your ears, preserving the sparkling brilliance of 386 00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:27.319 the original. The large sounding board area faithfully reproduces a 387 00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:33.079 low noise base, thus preserving the depth and snority of 388 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.160 the original sonorty. Yeah, that's what it says, result clear 389 00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:42.039 lifelike reception as if the artists were present in quote 390 00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:47.119 in person unquote. Now, I'm sorry that your nineteen forty 391 00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:52.799 one Filco does not feature this particular option. However, if 392 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:55.440 you go outside and find somebody that has a brick, 393 00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:58.880 you can borrow, put it in front of the cabinet 394 00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:01.039 and lean it back, slide and there you go. 395 00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:05.759 You know what I mean. I know Kamala Harris wasn't 396 00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:07.880 alive at the time, but it sounds like she wrote 397 00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:10.720 that description in the catalog. That is a word relative. 398 00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:12.240 No doubt it was a relative. 399 00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:16.920 Okay, Rick, listen, have a fantastic rest of the weekend, 400 00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:21.319 and we'll talk to you hopefully next Saturday, if not before. 401 00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:24.880
