If I can find one I will send it to you Jack.

Wish me luck.
Don

P.S.

I was 7 years old in 1949.  We got our first Motorola television set. 
It was a real luxury with a 17" screen.

My favorite shows were:
Captain Video (brought to you by PowerHouse candy bars)
Howdy Doody
Tom Corbett Space Cadet
and Uncle Johnnie Coons' "Lunchtime Little Theater" (brought to you 
by Oscar Meyer weiners)
