[78-L] OT? Coin operated radio

[D P Ingram]

Ah, thanks ! I would have thought there was more of a risk putting them in "lesser" properties if those people were thought to be more likely to attempt to use blanks and other items. Interesting, in any case. Thanks.

They were usually found in motels of lesser quality and would afford the weary traveller access to their favorite radio programs... or so the ads for them stated.  Remember, there was still radio drama going on in the 1950s in the US, not to mention sport broadcasts, and portable radios were usually reserved for the middle-to-upper class.
