I believe this is an old Stromberg Carlson PA system from the 50s. This is the type system the Rhythm Heirs would have used.

Guitar case, Jim Murphy's harmonica and mic in the right corner. The top guitar is a Sears Silvertone (Murphy), middlet bass guitar (owner?), Guilt Starfire III (Murphy). Other mic lower left called a gun mic. Not sure of the owner.

Old AM radios no doubt. Plug them into the wall and find your favorite station. The one in the back even has a clock.

Two beautiful transistor radios. These were so innovative. Finally you could walk around the streets and listen to the AM radio station. In it's day, this was equal to the release of the -Phone, but it was a radio, not a phone. There weren't any FM stations yet and certainly no satelite radio.
