AM radio channel to hear the record.

Bought ny 1st VCR in 75, when Beta was still around. Only remote was a 'pause' button w/ a 10-15 ft cord.

I still have a 5-ft consol w/ AM/FM, record player and 8-track recorder!

When I started my 1st job after college, I mentiobed to co-worker that Captain Kangaroo used to be Clarabel. She said, "Who?"

And you feel old?
