Re: IML: Little black box

[roger crabtree <rcrabshish@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi list,
A big Montanaaaaa tip of the hat to Mark Evans.  I
think I now know what the little black box (OK it is
silver) is.  If you look at the link that Mark sent it
shows an add stating that they moved.  When you open
that link it shows that they specialised in garage
door openers.  I suppose there is a door that opens
every time I have pushed that fool button.  There is
another possibility.  The car came from Western
Montana.  That region is mountains and valleys.  In
1955 there was probably just a few radio stations in
the area.  Population in that area was nothing like it
is now.  I suppose it could also be some type of
antenna booster.  I will check on that this morning. 
I never thought of either of these things.  All this
time I thought it was a 6-12 volt converter.  I am
going to investigate further and will let the list
know.
