Good morning gerry and all at AD. I guess we better keep our comments to ourselves. Someone will figure out our ages. HeHeHe

billybob · May 29, 2007

Now now, no comments about gerry's age, hes only just reached triple figures, so dont be horrible.

little155 · May 29, 2007

billybob, I was thinking of my age more than gerry's age. You have a good day, now.

gerry1 · May 29, 2007

That looks like one of the early hand wired tv chassis but I'm not sure since I can't see the top. If it is TV its probably early 1950's.

Looks like an old radio or TV set chassis with the vacuum tubes removed. To the right looks like on/off/volume top and tuner dial on bottom and the left or rear looks like the adjustment knobs just sticking out for Horiz. old, vert. hold, and cont, and brightness. Just a guess. Since it's says radio site I'll say radio.

ddp · May 29, 2007

the tubes are on the opposite side as that is the bottom of the chassis. 1940's to early 60's tv as the picture tube bottom will fit into the notch on the right.

the answer
RCA 630: The Best-Selling Early Television

The RCA 630TS television became an immediate hit when it was introduced in 1946, right after World War II.

GERRY1 AND ALL
NOTE YE HAVE TO READ EVERY LINE TO UNDERSTAND THE JOKE...

Several centuries ago, the Pope decreed that all the Jews had to convert to
Catholicism or leave Italy.

There was a huge outcry from the Jewish community, so the Pope offered a
deal.

He would have a religious debate with the leader of the Jewish community.

If the Jews won, they could stay in Italy.
If the Pope won, they would have to leave or convert.

The Jewish people met and picked an aged, but wise, Rabbi Moshe to represent
them in the debate. However, as Moshe spoke no Italian and the Pope spoke no
Yiddish, they all agreed that it would be a "silent" debate.

On the chosen day, the Pope and Rabbi Moshe sat opposite each other.

The Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers.

Rabbi Moshe looked back and raised one finger.

Next, the Pope waved his finger around his head.

Rabbi Moshe pointed to the ground where he sat.

The Pope then brought out a communion wafer and a chalice of wine.

Rabbi Moshe pulled out an apple.

With that, the Pope stood up and declared that he was beaten — that Rabbi
Moshe was too clever and that the Jews could stay in Italy.

Later, the Cardinals met with the Pope, asking what had happened.

The Pope said, "First, I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity.
He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there is still only
one God common to both our beliefs. Then, I waved my finger around my

head to show him that God was all around us.

He responded by pointing to the ground to show that God was also right here
with us.

I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us of all our sins.
He pulled out an apple to remind me of the original sin.
He had me beaten at my every move and I could not continue."

Meanwhile..the Jewish community was gathered around Rabbi Moshe.

"How did you win the debate?" they asked.

"I haven't a clue," said Moshe. "First he said to me that we had three days

to get out of Italy, so I gave him the finger! Then he tells me that the whole

country would be cleared of Jews and I said to him we're staying right here."

"And then what?" asked a woman.

"Who knows? " said Moshe, "He took out his lunch so I took out mine."

Lmao.

gerry1 · May 30, 2007

@Ireland .... LMAO! I love such jokes. Somewhere amidst my junk, I have a book of little known facts about Popes and the bizarre decisions they made which had impact on the then known world. One of the medieval popes, for example, nixed using a fork when it was invented because the use of the fork was an "unnatural act" so people went on using their hands for several centuries until the French rebelled and would rather burn in hell than get their hands greasy LOL! I should dig up that book and post some little known yet hysterical facts about the catholic church's decisions and its impact. Coffee was damned near made illegal because the church authorities said it was a drug; fortunately for us all, the pope liked it with cream and sugar LOL!

Oooo was that done deliberately? Hysterical/Historical?

fun facts

The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from and old English law
which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.

Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history.
Spades - King David, Clubs - Alexander the Great,
Hearts - Charlemagne, and Diamonds - Julius Caesar.

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs
in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front
leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in
battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

In the 1940s, the FCC assigned television's Channel 1 to mobile
services (two-way radios in taxicabs, for instance) but did not
re-number the other channel assignments. That is why your TV set
has channels 2 and up, but no channel 1.

The highest point in Pennsylvania is lower than the lowest point in Colorado.

If you have three quarters, four dimes, and four pennies, you have
1.19. You also have the largest amount of money in coins without
being able to make change for a dollar.

The world's youngest parents were 8 and 9 and lived in China in 1910.

111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321

The youngest pope was 11 years old.

Missed Light

Two cars were waiting at a stoplight. The light turned green, but the man didn't notice it. A woman in the car behind him is watching traffic pass around them. The woman begins pounding on her steering wheel and yelling at the man to move. The man doesn't move. The woman is going ballistic inside her car, ranting and raving at the man, pounding on her steering wheel and dash.

The light turns yellow and the woman begins to blow the car horn, flips him off, and screams profanity and curses at the man. The man, looks up, sees the yellow light and accelerates through the intersection just as the light turns red.

The woman is beside herself, screaming as she misses her chance to get through the intersection. As she is still in mid-rant she hears a tap on her window and looks up into the barrel of a gun held by a very serious-looking policeman. The policeman tells her to shut off her car while keeping both hands in sight. She complies, speechless at what is happening.

After she shuts off the engine, the policeman orders her to exit her car with her hands up. She gets out of the car and he orders her to turn and place her hands on her car, then handcuffs her and takes her to the police station where she is fingerprinted, photographed, searched, booked, and placed in a cell.

After a couple of hours, she is let out of the cell and escorted back to the booking desk where the original officer is waiting with her personal effects. He says, "I'm really sorry for this mistake. But, you see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping the guy off in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'What Would Jesus Do?' bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker, and the chrome plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally I assumed you had stolen the car."
