Radio of 1950

Postby JohnCox » April 17th, 2014, 12:21 pm

I've posted a story about Houdini's "Radio of 1950" illusion with a great photo of Hardeen doing the trick, showing the inside workings of the "radio" box (I've never seen that before).

Here's my question. Does anyone know what happened to the Radio of 1950 apparatus? It was put up for sale ($125) after Hardeen's death. Did it sell? Does it sit in someone's collection today? Be great to track this down. It's a lessor known, but still historic piece of Houdiniana.
