One moment, at age 10, I could not lift radio, remember radios- when they were a piece of furniture?
Also, TV's had doors on them to cover up the 'ugly
screen?-you were suppose to think it was a nice walnut cabinet(?).
My Aunt had one of those big radios. It had shortwave bands too. I played with it trying to pick up something on them but all I got was static. I'm pretty sure she didn't even have an antenna hooked to it.
