[78-L] First real LP

[BURNHAM]

I remember seeing a radio from the ‘30s, (I think it may have been a Stromberg-Carlson), which was identified as “High-Fidelity”; it contained multiple speakers, (two tweeters and a woofer), and separate bass and treble tone controls!  I saw this unit in the very early ‘50s, 1952 or 1953 and was blown away by the sound!  I'd love to find one of these models today!
