Hit or Miss: Philco Torch / Radio

Too dark in your room? Doing your ironing off the light socket above, what better than to use your torch-radio to light the way whilst you listen to the latest music. This 1956 advert from April (although it wasn't the 1st of April, surely this is a joke?) shows the innovative solution to listening in the dark. The second half-page of this advert shows off two new FM radios. Hit or Miss, you tell me?
