Tuning a 1920s three dialer radio
In the early to mid 1920s after the time station KDKA began regular broadcasting, radio stations began to pop up all over the country and sales of radio sets skyrocketed up to tens of thousands of sets sold every year. The typical "three dialer set" like the one I show in this video became commonplace and could be seen in most households. In this video I hope to show how it must have been to carefully rotate the dials, hear some programming in the midst of the hetrodyne and noise and then try to fine tune it to a good listening level. Usually (from what I have read) only one person in the household was designated to be the tuner of the radio. This Continental Master radio that I show in this video was one of many off brand inexpensive radios sold in the 1920s. A radio like this one could probably have been sold in hardware stores as well as general merchandise stores. It may have been marketed in mail order catalogues.
