Purpose
CONELRAD was designed to broadcast civil defense information to the public using radio stations. The system was intended to make the broadcasts difficult for Soviet bombers to home in on by rapidly switching transmitter stations.
Operation
CONELRAD was operational from 1951 to 1963. All commercial AM radios sold in the United States during this time were required to have the CONELRAD frequencies of 640 and 1240 kHz marked on their tuning dials.

AM = American Music
FM = Foreign Music

😳😁🤣

You set the frequency for the station you wanted the button to recall using the tuning knob and then pulled the button out and pushed it back in to set it.

Yeah, was very simple.

But I forgot how to do it until you reminded me.

Film canister (for lack of a better word). Also good for raising up stereo components. The rubber feet of the various components usually fit quite nicely in the black part of the canister.

The reel you used to hold your film for developing. I have many hours in a darkroom. Although that was 30 years ago.

We went out for dinner to our new favorite eatery and Wifey ordered the Walleye. The waiter asked her if she wanted the senior meal or the regular one. I could barely hold my laughter.

My wife got a senior discount at McDonalds well before she was a senior. When she found out she wasn't happy and said the discount wasn't worth it!

Oh yeah... Is the waiter out of the hospital yet?

I used to have a home darkroom as a teen, and had dozens of those empty 35mm film shipping containers since I didn't need to send them to the photo developing place.

Also, I used a church key bottle/can opener to pop the end off of the 35mm film cartridge to get the negatives out.....
