Magnavox started as "Commercial Wireless & Development

Company" at Napa, California. In 1915, Magnavox put a horn to their

"telephone receiver with moving-coil system" and then used it as a

"Fog-Horn" for the local baseball park.  It was called the “Magna Vox”

which was latin for “Great Voice.” In 1917, the Company changed its

name  to Magnavox. Appropriately, the Magnavox logo is the lion head

roaring.  The M1A is a product of the roaring twenties.  The Roaring

20s was a period of sustained economic prosperity with a distinctive

cultural edge in the United States.  The decade was known as the Crazy

Years.  It was the an era emphasizing social, artistic and cultural

 dynamism. The Magnavox M-1 A is a wonderful piece which

represents it era to perfection.  No longer a youthful flapper, it remains

in the height of fashion.  So sit back and enjoy a period which

revolutionized the world.
