"An Antique Radio is a radio receiving set that is collectible because of its age and uniqueness.
Although collectors may differ on the cutoff dates, most would use 50 years old, or the pre-World War II Era, for vacuum tube sets
and the first five years of transistor sets.
The console radio was the center piece of every house back in the era of radio, they were big and expensive running up
to $700 back in the late 1930s. Mostly for the wealthy, these radios were placed in hallways and living rooms. Most console
radios were waist high and not very wide, as the years went on they got shorter and wider. Most consumer console radios
were made by RCA, Philco, General Electric, Wards Airline, Montgomery Ward, Westinghouse, radio-bar and many more.
Brands such as Zenith, Scott, Atwater-Kent, were mainly for the rich as their prices ran into the $500-$800 range in the 1930s
and 1940s."

"The phonograph, or gramophone, was the most common device for playing recorded sound from the 1870s through the 1980s.
Usage of these terms is not uniform across the English-speaking world. In more modern usage, this device is often
called a turntable, Record Player, or record changer.
In American English, phonograph was the most common generic term for any early sound reproducing machine, until the second
half of the 20th century, when it became archaic and record player became the universal term for disc record machines. In
contemporary American usage phonograph most usually refers to disc record machines or turntables, the most common type of
analogue recording from the 1910s on.
Thomas Alva Edison announced his invention of the first phonograph, a device for recording and replaying sound, on November
21, 1877, and he demonstrated the device for the first time on November 29 (it was patented on February 19, 1878 as US
Patent 200,521). Edison's early phonographs recorded onto a tinfoil sheet phonograph cylinder using an up-down
("hill-and-dale") motion of the stylus. The tinfoil sheet was wrapped around a grooved cylinder, and the sound was
recorded as indentations into the foil."

"
High fidelity or hi-fi reproduction is a term used by home stereo listeners and home audio enthusiasts (audiophiles) to refer
to high-quality reproduction of sound or images that is very faithful to the original master recording. High fidelity equipment has
minimal or unnoticeable amounts of noise and distortion and an accurate frequency response as set out in 1973 by the German
Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) standard DIN 45500. The term was most widely used in this strict sense in the 1950s and
1960s; in subsequent decades, the term was applied more loosely to any mid-level stereo system.
In the 2000s, the term "hi-fi" for
expensive high quality home audio electronics was largely replaced with the term "
high-end audio"
