Lum & Abner, Old Time Radio Show, 430111 Grand Prize on Pinball
Lum and Abner was an American network radio comedy program created by Chester Lauck and Norris Goff that was aired from 1931 to 1954. Modeled on life in the small town of Waters, Arkansas, near where Lauck and Goff grew up, the show proved immensely popular. In 1936, Waters changed its name to Pine Ridge after the show's fictional town.
The series was created by co-stars Chester Lauck (who played Columbus Lum Edwards) and Norris Goff (Abner Peabody). The two characters performed as a double act, with Lum generally playing the straight man to Abner's attempts to break free from Lum's influence. As co-owners of the Jot 'em Down Store in the fictional town of Pine Ridge, Arkansas, the pair are constantly stumbling upon moneymaking ideas only to find themselves fleeced by nemesis Squire Skimp, before finally finding a way to redeem themselves. Lum and Abner played the hillbilly theme with deceptive cleverness. The hillbillies knew that the slickers would get what was coming to them sooner or later and either didn't mind or knew more than they let on that the slickers getting theirs was a matter of fortunate circumstance.
In addition to the title characters, Lauck also played Grandpappy Spears and Cedric Weehunt while Goff played Abner, Squire Skimp, Llewelyn Mousey Grey, Dick Huddleston, and most of the other characters.
Lauck and Goff had known each other since childhood and attended the University of Arkansas together where they both joined the Sigma Chi Fraternity. They performed locally and established a blackface act which led to an audition at radio station KTHS in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Prior to the audition, the two men decided to change their act and portray two hillbillies, due to the large number of blackface acts already in existence. After only a few shows in Hot Springs, they were picked up nationally by NBC, and Lum and Abner, sponsored by Quaker Oats, ran until 1932. Lauck and Goff performed several different characters, modeling many of them on the real-life residents of Waters, Arkansas.
When the Quaker contract expired, Lauck and Goff continued to broadcast on two Texas stations, WBAP (Fort Worth) and WFAA (Dallas). In 1933, The Ford Dealers of America became their sponsor for approximately a year. Horlick's Malted Milk, the 1934–37 sponsor, offered a number of promotional items, including almanacs and fictional Pine Ridge newspapers. During this period, the show was broadcast on Chicago's WGN (AM), one of the founding members of the Mutual Broadcasting System. Effective July 1, 1935, the program was also carried on WLW (Cincinnati, Ohio), KNX (Los Angeles, California), and KFRC (San Francisco, California). Along with The Lone Ranger, Lum and Abner was one of Mutual's most popular programs. In 1936, Dick Huddleston of Waters petitioned the United States Post Office to change the town's name to Pine Ridge.[4] Postum cereal sponsored Lum and Abner in 1938–40, before Alka-Seltzer picked up the duo. Miles Laboratories, manufacturers of Alka-Seltzer and One-A-Day Vitamins, became the longest-running sponsor, backing the program from 1941 until 1948. Over the course of its life, Lum and Abner appeared on the two other major radio networks in addition to NBC and Mutual: CBS and ABC (formerly NBC Blue).
In 1948, the show changed from a 15-minute comedic soap opera to a 30-minute self-contained show. New writers were added, including Flying Tiger ace Robert T. Smith, along with an orchestra and a live audience. The new format was unpopular and the series came off the air in 1950. Lauck and Goff experimented with other formats during the hiatus, finally changing back to a 15-minute, Monday-Friday show on ABC in 1953,[5] but the revived show was discontinued the following year due to competition from television and Goff's failing health (Goff would eventually recover and continue making media appearances well into the 1960s). The duo twice made attempts to transition to television, but neither effort was picked up by a television network.

VINTAGE 70s Dover Hydraulic Elevator at The Red Tree Inn, North Myrtle Beach, SC
Filmed March 2019.
First, I want to wish Riley aka Train&Busfan3712 a VERY HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY!!!! And Since his favorite elevator is a Vintage Dover, I figured this would be appropriate to upload today!!!
This elevator is an ALMOST Completely Original VINTAGE Dover that was installed either in the Early or Mid 1970s. It is TOTALLY UNTOUCHED and ORIGINAL with the exception of the Actual COP Buttons and 1st Floor Call Station which was likely replaced in the 80s or 90s with Newer Traditional, and the PTL Fire Service was obviously added too, but aside from that, this thing is COMPLETELY ORIGINAL with the ORIGINAL RETRO Red & White Cab, Black Halo Dover Traditional Call Stations, Original COP Plate, Indicator, Dry Powered Hydraulic Motor and Controller!!! Sadly, you can't really hear the motor on the inside die to the fan, but you can on the 1st floor on the outside and MAN is it EPIC!!!!
This thing isn't in Exactly Mint Condition, as the cabs, doors and call stations are a bit vandalized and worn out, but otherwise, this thing runs FLAWLESSLY and is by no means in Poor Condition either, and keep in mind, this elevator is located in one of those sketchy and ghetto motels that makes you question how they manage to stay open with health codes and everything, and they clearly haven't taken good care of this thing and it probably is never maintained, yet it still runs FLAWLESSLY 40-45 years later, and this is a true testament to Dover's quality that this thing runs and does so so well in a place like this!!!! So all things considered, it's in pretty good condition, and I hope it NEVER gets modernized!!!
And even though this elevator was AMAZING, this motel like I said is indeed a DUMP and it smelled horrible, and for those about to ask, YES I was busted at the end by some guy who was likely the owner as the guy who got on the elevator reported me!!! Grrrr!!! At least on the positive side, I got my video and was about to end anyways, and to be fair, I did kind of overstay my welcome, but the guy was rather pissy and just told me to leave and said that there can't be random people on property for liability reasons, which does make sense. So, yes, he was kind of rude, but I've dealt with much worse incidents. (Cough cough One Union Square Seattle Cough Cough Republic Plaza Denver)
This all being said though, I would HIGHLY advise you guys not to film here or really at any of these sketchy motels in general, and if you do decide to film them, do so with EXTREME Caution!!!! I take these videos so you don't have to!!!
That all being said, enjoy the video of this AMAZING, VINTAGE Dover that is ALMOST TOTALLY ORIGINAL from the 1970s, and Happy 16th Birthday Riley!!!!
Installed: Early to Mid 1970s (Dover with Older Black Halo Traditional)
COP Buttons and 1st floor Call Station was replaced likely in the 1980s or 90s with Newer Traditional, and PTL fire service was likely added around then, but the call stations, motor, indicator, cab and COP Plate are all ORIGINAL from the 1970s!!!
