Re: [Phono-L] A favor -- 1933 hits
Hi Dennis -- Thanks SO much for all the great information! I'll check to see whether his has this -- I'm not remembering a radio but I might be wrong. That would sure be a lot of fun. And even more than that, I'm grateful to everyone on the list and really touched by the huge outpouring of offers of assistance and knowledge.

Re: [Phono-L] A favor -- 1933 hits
MERLE; I'm sure your boyfriend knows it, but I'll say it here anyway. Chevrolet offered a radio for their cars in 1934,and I believe, also '33. It was in two forms. Both mounted to the left of the steering column, and cantilevered off the firewall. The control head was part of the radio case, and protruded out from under the dash,about flush with the dash surface. One model, the 600566, had the speaker in the radio case, and it shouted out toward the passenger side of the car. The other model 600565, had an external speaker in a cylindrical case, that mounted in the middle of the firewall. The only difference in the two sets was the power amplifier stage in the set,which gave more output from one model, than the other. While it's true of the '34 Chevies, the mounting holes for the radio were already punched in the firewall for the radio and also for the speaker. They may be there in the '33's as well. The fabric top of the car has the antenna built into it, with the lead-in coming d own the driver side "A" pillar. I'm a car collector myself, with 9 Cadillacs, an Oldsmobile and a 41 Chevrolet convertible. The Chevy has the 5 band radio in it, with lots of very good audio. You can drive down the road with top down, and the radio going at a good level. It's almost like a sound truck, I live in the country, so I can get away with stuff like that. Anyhoo, if your pal has one of the Chevy factory sets in the '33, he could have a break-in audio input jack put on the set, reachable from the driver seat, and used with a portable battery operated CD player. > [Original Message] > From: msprin...@juno.com > To: > Date: 2/5/2010 5:07:24 PM > Subject: Re: [Phono-L] A favor -- 1933 hits > > I'm trying to create something a little more custom made so it feels like a > special present, rather than just buying a CD.

Re: [Phono-L] A favor -- 1933 hits
Decca actually put out an 4 record set "Song of Our Times 1933" I have a copy of it but two of the records have a hairline crack. I've had it for sale on my set sale page for only a couple dollars. If interested I can let you know what songs are on it. However, it's a compilation put together by one artist, Charles Baum and his Orchestra. I believe they are all pop tunes. www.majesticrecord.com/78sforsale.htm Scroll all the way down to the 3rd from last entry on the page. Barring the idea of buying/trading for the records I could look at potentially transferring these to a CD. Let me know off list if interested.

[Phono-L] A favor -- 1933 hits
I know many of you do this for a living, and so I hate to ask... But, if someone was willing to help me I'd be deeply indebted. My boyfriend is in the final stages of having his 1933 Chevy Master Eagle fully (and beautifully) restored. It's going to be a grand sight moving down the road. I'd like to compile several CDs-worth of music that would have been popular that year, so the music we listen to while riding in it matches the vehicle -- it just seems the thing to do. And it might make a nice Valentine's gift, but if the timing is too short it doesn't need to be. At the moment, though, I'm computer challenged and so can't pull in the music and organize it and, besides, don't really have the knowledge about which tunes (and which versions) would be best.
