    Fred, building a time machine is way too complicated. All you have to do is
    visit any large city, find a cluttered, musty old curio shop run by an
    eccentric old geezer and his wife, and buy the antique radio that receives
    broadcasts from the past. Happens all the time on tv!

    Subject: Firefighters

    			Hi, all.  I recently came across a series that I
    know nothing about.  It's called "Firefighters".  It's not mentioned in John
    Dunning's book, and Vintage Radio Logs only says that it's probably from the
    late 40's.  Does anyone have any more information about this series?

    			Thanks for your help.

    			Jim

    Being an amateur collector interested only in listening, I am not that
    familiar with the ins and outs of dealer economics. The discussion about
    holding back expensive material until there are enough buyers to recover
    cost was very informative. But there must also be lots of stuff out there
    that was found in an attic or bought at an estate sale for $5, that is
    hoarded just the same. Is there some general reason why people with
    exclusive material will give copies to select individuals, but not want them
    circulated? Anybody who is now rolling their eyes thinking this is a stupid
    question with an obvious answer, that's the person I would like to hear
    from, because I don't get it.

    Subject: Got My Lunchbox

    Hi listers.

    When my wife, my daughter and I were at the grocery store doing our
    shopping, my wife spotted something in the cerial isle that I had been
    looking for. It was two boxes of Cheerios joined together with the small
    Lone Ranger lunchbox in the middle. Sure am glad I found it.

    Subject: a little OTR quiz

    Over on the classical pianists list we have been quizzing each other
    recently. Here is one that I would like to share with this group since it
    involves an OTR personality that all of you will know, but I bet you didn't
    know about his lineage.

    Who was the Hollywood actor who was descended from Felix Mendelssohn, the
    19th century composer?

    I am sure thay the circimstances vary.  One of the common reasons is if a
    collector with a medium or small collection finds some new material, they
    want the "biggest bang for their buck".  They will offer it to the large
    collectors with the stipulation that it cannot be traded.  This way, they can
    make a trade with all of the large collectors.  They might have lifted the
    recordings from somewhere they shouldn't have and don't want to get caught.
    I really don't know the reasons because I have never asked.  I only honor
    whatever restrictions are placed on the material when I get it.
