    The Neon Light is destroying the AM band signal and possibly the FM band signal. Try the radio again with the Neon light turned off.

    Back in the early 80s my dad brought home almost the identical phone booth. Our fan was in the ceiling with light not in the corner. I remember this because it stunk of cigarette smoke. Don’t remember what I had done that week but my punishment was to wash out the entire phone booth to clean it of all of the nicotine coating the walls. I think it was also a lesson to never smoke because it was disgusting. It was honey brown but cleaned up to tan.
    The worst part of the job is when we took the fan off of the top and thoroughly cleaned decades of nicotine, dust and grease off of the blades and motor and reassembled.
    Eventually, mom made him sell it but I have the identical phone at my house.
    I have it hanging tin the hall and often confuse millennials on how to dial a rotary.

    @18:21 the steampunk lamps are sold at a very low price at the Volo Antique Mall in Volo, Illinois minutes away from Pete's shop. The booth there has many steampunk items and a lot of steampunk lamps. If you want lamps like that go to the Volo Antique shop, you will not be disappointed and you will not be paying outrageous prices either!

    Pete, the newspaper plate I think is a pre-press plate used to print a newspaper, I worked around them for years and it looks identical to what I remember. So this is basically the master plate, used to print 1000's of that page - would need a closer look to be certain though

    yeah, that would be cool. If you can get some of those signs, you know to pop a little bit especially like with the railroad crossing sign if you can get the actual colors of like red to kind of flash, that would be neat you know like it’s a train coming by. Yeah that phone booth is absolutely amazing. If I had the money I would absolutely buy that immediately. That’s such a nice piece.

  • @Varcuri9898
    @Varcuri9898 4 месяца назад +2

    Area codes were introduced in the USA in 1947 as part of the North American numbering plan. Given the phone didn’t have an area code assigned the booth is probably older than 1947.
