Nipper the Comark Dog?
Nipper the Comark Dog?
You don't remember Nipper, the RCA dog who liked to listen to His Masters Voice on the gramaphone.... The one pictured on the tower of the RCA bldg. in Camden, NJ.
''After buying RCA in the late 80s, General Electric sold the RCA Consumer and Commercial Electronics divisions to Thomson-CSF of France. The sale included the RCA plants, proprietary data, the RCA name, the various logos used by RCA over the years and the picture of Nipper listening to the Vitrola machine. Comark Communications, Inc., the transmitter manufacturer, being a Thomson-CSF company has the rights to the RCA name and logos as shown during the last NAB.''

I keep my Nipper tie tack in the same little drawer as my Klipsch Bullshit button.
I wouldn't call Klipsch BS, It's an Efficent horn. I built a fairly efficent, free standing horn for a keyboards player, that went mighty low, but there again, I didn't go by the book. A horn loaded JBL 15" can play mighty loud, and he wanted it for his synthizier which went down to 16hz.
It was the early 70's when I was in contact with May at RCA, and he was at the Sarnoff center. I think they are making condo's in the Camden building now. Wonder if they allow pets. Would be a shame if they didn't. A picture of one on the wall wouldn't really qualify.
