Also a newbie
#10

Thank you for the greetings. I appreciate it. I imagine vintage radio collecting could become a bit of a hobby. I hope that I will keep my new venture in proper balance! Now I will now peruse the 1957 product line in an attempt to acquire one that is from my wife's birth year. Any recommendations?
Thank you also, Ron, for steering me directly to the 1954 models. My radio certainly appears to be a B710 rather than the depicted B711.
I do have a question. On the Sessions Movement clock, mine has a plug, or a blank cover, at the six o'clock position, whereas on the B-711 model there is a knob. Any information on an additional feature that is not on my clock?
Many thanks,
Bill
