There’s a marathon every late afternoon/early evening Saturday on the METV channel, right before Svengoolie, a spoof of the Saturday night old horror movie shows…

V M Corporation of Benton Harbor Michigan spindle adapter. They also made Voice Of Music record players and other similar equipment. I have an old Voice Of Music tube amp from a record player that I will convert to a harmonica amp one of these days.

I would certainly think it would have been different in rural areas and blue-collar areas where trucks were more necessary.

Nowadays, a lot more people buy big trucks and SUVs because they want them, not because they need them. They're indulgences for a lot of people today.
Well it was urban for me, but not metropolis type.
And as a kid I knew white collar guys who drove trucks, but some grew up blue collar.
Definitely an indulgence for some though.

I had one of these until 2017 and we moved to a house where there is no phone service. Mine had a pink cord to plug it into the wall.

Anyway, it was barely working when we moved so I tossed it at that point.

Circuit City - I worked in Computer Operations at the corporate headquarters there. 6pm to 6am shift, 63 degree temp all year long, 3 days on, 3 days off. The ONLY good part of the job was that there was a Kristy Kreme donut store a few blocks away and they had hot donuts at 2am.
