Volume 1: A-C Daton to J.B. Ferguson, Inc.:

This is the definitive account of the exciting decade when radio first entered the home and changed forever the way of life in America. It features the start-up stories of almost 150 different radio manufacturers in the United States and gives detailed information on the products they produced, making this an invaluable guide for radio collectors and historians alike. It includes rare photos of the factories and hundreds of pictures and reproduced magazine ads detailing their products.

Thousands of early radios are identified by make, model number and important features. The evolution of radio design is traced from crystal sets and one-tube "regens" to the first AC sets and superheterodynes.

Learn about the beginning of some of America's largest consumer electronics manufacturers like

  • General Electric,
  • RCA,
  • Raytheon,
  • Westinghouse,
  • Zenith
  • ... and others.

Organized alphabetically by manufacturer. Volume 1 includes A-C Daton to J.B. Ferguson, Inc.

Volume two extends the wealth of information through an additional 31 manufacturers, providing extensive detail regarding their products and their manufacturing operations.

Amazing Product!
Product worked great on some of the older trucks I use for construction vehicles. This product made all the lights look brand spanking new. Awesome product, and definitely recommend if you have any fogging in your headlights. It doesn’t matter the age of the cars/trucks as this product makes them look brand new regardless. I used on both new and older vehicles and you couldn’t tell the difference because the lights looked so clean on both. The product worked amazing . I also noticed at nighttime the headlights provided better visibility too! Perfectly priced!

This works
Wow!! I am shocked at how good this works. In addition to the fact that it works, it is Packaged with novice people in mind to get maximum results. This was worthy of before and after pictures; but, starting tge project, honestly didn't think it would result in the way it did.

Excellent results
I have an older truck with badly oxidized headlights. I saw this product advertised and decided to give it a try. It was amazing how easy it was to do. 3 step process and the most remarkable results! I had a question regarding the process, called the number on the QR code and spoke to a person! OhJoy! More than helpful, put a whole new meaning to "service after the sale"I highly recommend this product and this company!

Not quite what I expected
Great price but the results, though they did improve the clarity, it was not the full results I HAD EXPECTED.. The foiled packages that had the oxidizer removal and ceramic clear coat were nearly dry when I opened them. They should be made more wet when sealed and possibly better foil paqckaging.
