While we are on the subject of old.... I have had a party line telephone, a phonograph with 16, 45, and 78 rpm. Wax records, and a hand crank telephone. Just saying...

We never had a 16 RPM player but our local guiding eyes for the blind had one for talking books.
The wife loved her 45's but I was always a 33 1/3 guy. Her sugary teenybobber stuff drove me crazy.

I was the remote and router. There was a 2ft pipe wrench left out in the mudroom. That was used to turn the antenna till dad yelled to stop or say go back the other way 🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂
We had a rotator. I remember it working one time. Later, it was glued together after someone knocked it off the TV.

I guess I’m a little old also. When I was a kid we would sit by the radio on Saturday night and listen to Inner Sanctum.

On the farm, we never had a TV until about 1961. Before that we used to gather around the family car on Sunday evenings in the summer and listen to The Shadow and The Lone Ranger. Great times indeed.
