Wow, I had no idea they had tweakers in the forties. Those girls look pretty strung out.

Patently false advertising. While I did not have an Echophone, I did hae a very nice Hallicrafters SW receiver and, in my experience, the slightest mention of my excitement at hearing a station broadcasting from some exotic locale resulted in instantaneous loss of interest by any “hot babe” within earshot…

Why do the three “hot babes” in the background appear to have 5 o’clock shadow?

He’d have to be smoking the “wacky tobacky” to think that the guys who got the beautiful girls spent their time fiddling with a shortwave radio. I should know, I owned (and still have) a Hallicrafters receiver myself.
