Beauty and the HiFi Light Switch Cover

Description

From the pages of a 1950's magazine is this original black and white HiFi advertisement. Great for those who still appreciate collecting and listening to vinyl.

In the 1950s, the term high fidelity began to be used by audio manufacturers as a marketing term to describe records and equipment which were intended to provide faithful sound reproduction. While some consumers simply interpreted high fidelity as fancy and expensive equipment, many found the difference in quality between "hi-fi" and the then standard AM radios and 78 RPM records readily apparent and bought 33 LPs. In the 1950s, hi-fi became a generic term, to some extent displacing phonograph and record player.

Measuring 3 1/4" X 5", this light switch cover is coated with several layers of poly for durability and easy clean-up.
