RCA Victor score

[Reece]

Some AM stations have quietly turned off their digital garbage. You won't hear the hash in their sidebands now. You never hear ads for radios that can tune that stuff any more.

As to table radios today, maybe about the only ones are compact hi-fi types like Tivoli, some clock radios, and iPod docking sets. The Tivolis and their ilk are the only ones that remotely resemble table radios of yore.

I once worked in a thrift shop. The crappy Radio/CD player they had at the time running through a commercial amp was driving me nuts. Scratchy static mixed with music was all that filled the store. Then one day somebody...for some strange and unknown reason...donated a nice, shiny Tivoli Model One radio...like manna from the gods! I said to the manager, "That's our new store radio." Ran the thing through the headphone jack into the amp and presto, lot's of crystal clear radio stations without static throughout the entire store. Years later, they are still using it, and I don't even work there any more.
