Here are some pix, I believe I counted 13. The arrow to advance is very 
light gray and very small, lower left corner under the pix. I almost 
didn't find it.

Here is a brief quote and my response:

“I assumed (the collection) was probably pretty rare, and that it’s, I 
think, almost a complete history of the early years of Armed Forces 
Radio,” Denfeld said. “It’s just hard to find, when you’re looking at 
history, the complete history.”

This person has never read Mckenzie's Book on the AFRS programs.

"In fact, it’s possible the boxes contain recordings that haven’t 
survived anywhere else."

Yes, maybe so, but not very likely given how common AFRS library records 
are.

“Our whole mission is to prevent unauthorized audiences from getting 
those materials, so the last thing we want to do is have anything show 
up on e-Bay so people can buy it because it’s U.S. government property,” 
Sichter said. “But as the years have regressed there’s a resurgence in 
interest in the catalog that Armed Forces Radio Service had. So what 
we’re dedicated to, here now, is preserving the catalog.”

Right. Never saw an AFRS ET on ebay. Not once. Nope. (no further comment 
needed)

Preserve the catalog? Yes, you do that. I'd be happy with the records.
