Better than
any you can make. Want to try it? There's a concert coming in from
Springfield right now."
"Yes, sir, we'd like to try it, and it's good of you to let us,"
answered Bob. "But we believe in making our own sets. That's more
than half the fun."
"Yes, but just wait till you hear this box set," urged the dealer.
"Then maybe you'll want to own one. A professional set is always
better than an amateur one, you know."
The boys didn't know but they did not say so. They followed the man
to a back room of his establishment, where the box set rested on a
plain but heavy table.
"There are the ear phones, help yourselves," he said. "I've got to
wait on that customer that just came in."
The three radio boys proceeded to make themselves at home around the
table. They adjusted the ear phones and listened intently. There was
not a sound.
"Guess the concert is over," observed Doughnuts.
"Wait till I make a few adjustments," put in Bob, and proceeded to
tune up as best he could. He had been reading his book of instructions
carefully of late, so went to work with a good deal of intelligence.
"There it is!" cried Joe, as the music suddenly burst upon their ears.
"Listen, fellows! They are playing Dixie!"
"And it sounds mighty good," added Jimmy enthusiastically.
"But no better than it would on our set at home," put in Bob,
quickly.
