As pointed out earlier, I have been binging on 1960s toy commercials. While they are quite different from today... Full of realistic guns, bombs, missile launchers, imagination and a total lack of licensed products, this one to me really highlights the yesteryear factor. Today, if you gave a kid a build your own radio kit, you would essentially be telling that kid either, I dont love you, or with this radio we can broadcast the word of Christ. Dont get me wrong, I think it is a great item, I not only had one when I was a kid, but I actually asked for it. But today? Not so much. I dont even know if an average kid would know what it was. In any case, this commercial has the best tag line ever. One kid says to he other towards the end, oh boy, were radio engineers! No modern kid, tech nerd or homeschooled Christian Luddite, will ever say that. And that makes me sad.
