More off-off topic- today I went and looked at some old home radios and
tubes that a lady had for sale. I got a few good tubes for a decent price,
and brought home 3 unusual radios to tinker with. The best one is a metal
case RCA. It is bigger than an old breadbox and gets the AM band and SW from
around 9-12 mHz. The most unusual part is that it is a hotel coin operated
radio. It has the chromed quarter coin slot with a  change return hole in
the side. I looked in the back and it looks like either a 5 or 7 tube radio.
The only thing on the remaining part of the sticker on the bottom is
??MI-13182. 

Does anyone know more about hotel type pay radios? I'll probably repaint the
case and recap it just because it is unusual.
