[NJARC] NYT article about automotive audio

[Jim Whartenby]

Didn't know Muntz was into audio, I only remember their catchy TV commercials.

Ruth and I just were talking this morning about "Refrigerator Radios".  I always 
thought of them as a cheep 4 tube radio but it seems to be much more.  A few 
were six tube AC/DC radios with an RF amp which puts them in a higher class of 
performance.

Anyone know what is the time period and who was first with the concept?
Jim
