Re: Little known fact...............
Neil Armstrong was born in Wapakoneta, Ohio, population 10,000. I have a Victor 6 that was sold circa 1906 by a Jeweler and Optician store in Wapakoneta . Sadly it does not have a Meltrope soundbox... . However, I believe Neil Armstrong once walked past the building that used to be the jewelry Store. And that is all I have to say about that.
