Wish I had that here. I usually have the radio turned off in the car going to and from work.I must admit to still being a fan of radio. Haven't bought into the streaming of music and I like the local factor. There are a couple of small town stations close by that I really enjoy on the car ride each morning.
Thats a M42 Model Helmet. Last production design. Surprised he was allowed to keep his helmet after surrender.A young German Soldier, recently taken prisoner, stares ahead while sitting on a church pew with his helmet in Normandy, late July 1944

I remember using a tester like this when I was a boy. We lived in the country. Had to drive into Poughkeepsie to use the machine.My AM radio had a tube chassis, and I remember having to beg may Dad to take me into town when one of the tubes burned out. You had to take them all and run them thru the "machine" to find the weak or bad one.

I'm 350 miles North of L. A., but way back in high school I was able to get nighttime AM rock 'n roll KRLA.
Silence: For close to the last 10 years, I've had Derek and the Dominoes "Layla" on continuous play in the truck's CD player. However, for the last couple years, as my hearing has gone further South, the volume has been turned off. I wore out two vinyl records and am on the second CD, and though I know every word of every song most are now not understandable.
No surprise, that.Now a Spanish station . . .
I was 40 or so miles north of Los Angeles and listened to KRLA for several years until I got snob-ish and wanted stereo.I'm 350 miles North of L. A., but way back in high school I was able to get nighttime AM rock 'n roll KRLA.
