[BC] Play that Again, Take it away Leon

[stanleybadams]

I have seen those too Milt.  Worked at WCNW in Fairfield Ohio, just north of
where I lived, during my last two years of high school. As well as WKUZ
where we had it all automatic too with the old RCA 76, and TT's.

Talking about some of the old boys, there was Jim Stanley, a singer of some
renound (recorded for King Records) and Pappy Tipton who worked at night
when the FM was on and the AM off.  He played music for all the blue collars
coming off work at area steel and car plants.


As long as the coffee pot was hot, so were they.  The young will not care
nor understand what real pre-automation radio was all about.  And automation
in those days was having more than two cart machines.  If you had a SMC
Carosel, you were in heaven---as long as it worked.

There has also been a tread on here about headphones, and yes, I could never
afford those type, but we did use some old trusty Trimms, some with and
without the earcups.
