Looks like the inside of my Swan 500c transceiver. An elegant design for
a more civilized time..

one thing that I _will_ say for bus-strips, they make it a whole heck of
a lot easier to replace faulty passive components. Even with new
components that are nothing like the same shape as the old ones.

I love point to point wiring like that!!! God only knows how they could afford
putting that much manual labor into a product. I have a Drake 2B vacuum tube
radio which is just as pretty :)

They could afford to do that by charging a lot of money for consumer
electronics. A color television cost half as much as a new car in the
mid-1950s.

If I remember correctly, they were half the size of a new car back in the 50's
as well :)
