This maxi postcard from Australia! It features the Kriesler Master Multi Sonic radiogram from 1966, a true icon of Australian home entertainment. From the 1950s to the 1970s, radiograms like this were the heart of many Aussie homes, combining radio and record player into one stylish unit. 

This particular model, captured beautifully in Melissa Webb's photograph, reminds us of a time when gathering around to listen to music or the radio was a shared experience. The postcard also includes stamps from the recent issue commemorating these classic machines, highlighting the $1.20 denomination and the intricate design by Jo Muré. 

It's fascinating to learn about the evolution of these devices, from valve amplifiers to transistorized models, and the shift from mono to stereo sound. A real piece of Australian nostalgia, celebrating a golden era of local manufacturing and the enduring appeal of vinyl records!

A Radio Postcard Journey - 9

Imagine the music that filled the airwaves from this radio! Just received this charming postcard from James in the USA via Postcrossing, featuring a classic guitar and a vintage radio. It's like a little window into the past. The guitar has a "Lone Ranger" design, making me wonder about the stories it could tell. It features a 1937 guitar with incredible artwork of the Lone Ranger and Tonto, galloping under a moonlit sky. Apparently, there's a new book about "Cowboy Guitars" - I'm definitely going to look that up! Thanks, James, for sending a piece of history!
