Porto Baradio
Ah, the joys of moving. Old things rediscovered after years of sitting lonely and forlorn in the Center Hall Closet. One item that's made it back out into the glory of the light of day is the wedding-gift Porto Baradio that we got from our bestest Madison friends. It was a centerpiece in the place-before-last, got demoted to the closet when we bought Mom and Dad's mid-century modern house and returns to its proper place now that I've got room to see all the radios again.
Is this a cool thing or what? A bar... A radio... All portable... Take that, you iPod weenies.

Mike,
My mom recently died and I was going through her wedding album. I found the instructions for a Porto Baradio. (It was my dad's gift to my mom.) They were married in August, 1946. Having no idea what it was I thought I would google it. Sure enough there were several hits.
Thank you for the picture and story.
Sincerely,
Michelle
