    Back in WW2 , Bob Hope made some USO trips to the Pacific theater . As they traveled there they had to make stops along the way to rest and refuel for the next leg . They would unload and set up the set and do a show for the purpose of entertaining the troops and giving the stage crew and cast practice . One of these stops was in Yuma and someone had a reel to reel voice recorder and taped the first 1/2 hour or so of the show ( till the tape ran out ) . They played that on the air several years ago and the station was kind enough to make me a copy . I'll find it one of these days .

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    My Grandfather's Radio and Television shop.

    These 2 photos were probably taken in the early 1950's? when the UKicon was in "a bit of a boom" after WW2 and people were buying electrical appliances often for the first time. Sadly my Grandfather's business went bust in the late 1950's; if it hadn't, I would probably be doing an entirely different line of work today.

    Is anyone able to date the photos from the radios, please?
