The then CBS affiliate there, KRLD had these and you can see a couple of them here in these photos of Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby. Thanks to Jeremy Butler at The University Of Alabama for sharing the ad with us&#8230;this gives us more information on the rather sketchy GE equipment timeline. Anyone ever work with these?
