• 3:20
  Speaker 7: All right, can they I don't know you're Ben, Sit down, fellas. Thanks.
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: We just left the skipper over at the City Hall.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: Did the Captain briefly on this thing?
• 3:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he gave us a parcel, Phil and we've been
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: working on it from our end in about two weeks now.
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: Well, Paul Price, he's our radio TV editor. Paul and
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: I had a long session with Captain mccaully yesterday and
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: I guess now we're all ready.
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: To move on this thing. We'll do everything we can.
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: Would you like to fill Ben in and what you
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: told me yesterday on the phone. Yeah.
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: Well, Price was the one who began getting the first
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: complaints here at the paper. Tremendous number of his readers
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: wrote him complaints about being victimized by a crooked television repairman.
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: About being charged too much for repair.
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: Partly Yeah, some of the people even sent in receipts
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: with their letters. So they felt the guys who fixed
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: their sets were dreaming up on neces sary repairs, charging
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: him for work not done. So said they knew they
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: were built for parts not even replaced or installed in
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: their sets.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: Ben Jack told me yesterday about a letter he got
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: in some men said he felt he'd been over charged
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: and he just started to belly ache about it.
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, a fellow to the name of Vincent said, he
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: just put up an old fashioned squawk about it, and
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: repairman brought the price down at least one third.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: That doesn't sound very good.
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: We kind of figured operators like that must have too
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: many repair sets on hand that their customers can't afford
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: to bail out.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: That's why they cut. Sounds like a ClearCase of a
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: two bit jip, doesn't it. Something's got to be done
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: about it.
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: We're ready to give it a big plan our paper
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: expose the fraud for what it really is. Captain McCauley says,
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: Chief Parker's okay on our plan, and we can count
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: on full police cooperation.
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: That's the way we got it, Jack. We were told
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: to work with you people till we broke this thing.
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: Fine, we dug up a little amunation to start with.
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: I think went around and interviewed about fifteen different television
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: repairman in various neighborhoods, and about three out of five
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: gave me the same pitch.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: Whether they know you were with a newspaper.
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: No, I told him I was a factory representative. For
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: a new kind of rosmin Cors Soider company. I was
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: taking orders. Actually, I dropped in the different stores sh
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: out to breeze with him, and they didn't seem to
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: get wise. A couple of even placed orders for the start.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: And why did you find that?
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: I just wanted to try and get the general attitude
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: of some of these jip artists, and I really got
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: an air for One of the last places I hit
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: was a tiny little hole in the wall out near
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: Canoga Park. As I say, about two out of five
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: are honest, hard work and repair man. This fellow was
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: one of them. What are you getting at, Jack?
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: For a while, this.
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: Fellow worked for a guy that employed about five men
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: in the shop, you know, finally quit him because he
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: didn't like the way this big operator did business. Fellows
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: in the next office, I want you to hear it
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: from him, just as I got it.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: Excuse me, young, Okay, heyk will you come in please? Sure? Master?
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: This is Hank Corter, Sergeant Friday, Sergeant Ben or Merrow
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: Police Department. Hank, I wonder if you tell these officers
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: a little bit what you told me about kill Gore
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: TV specialists.
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: All right, Now, suppose.
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: I'm a customer and I commend to kill Gore's I
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: don't like the size of my repair bill. What were
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: you instructed to say? We generally tried to talk him
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: out of any complaint. Suppose I complained about all the
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: multiple charges. I wanted an explanation of the work he did.
• 5:58
  Speaker 9: What then, tell you that it wouldn't do any good
• 6:01
  Speaker 9: to explain You wouldn't understand all the technical stuff anyway.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: Uh huh, tell us killed Gore's attitude with the customer.
• 6:06
  Speaker 10: You mean about the loose wires test?
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah? Please?
• 6:09
  Speaker 9: Well, kill Gore used to tell us that if we
• 6:10
  Speaker 9: only charged fifty cents for fixing the loose wire, the
• 6:12
  Speaker 9: customer wouldn't believe we really fixed his set.
• 6:15
  Speaker 10: So we used to charge quite a lot more.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: Well, how much more?
• 6:18
  Speaker 9: For example, for Nichols worth of wire, we'd usually charge
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: four dollars and.
• 6:21
  Speaker 11: Seventy five cents. Pretty fair profit, and it's a real run.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: What else can you tell us?
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: Ah, Well, we'd never let a customer watch any of
• 6:28
  Speaker 9: the TV repair a job for example, for customer cause
• 6:31
  Speaker 9: it says he thinks.
• 6:32
  Speaker 11: The two is blown out and it'll only be a
• 6:33
  Speaker 11: simple replacement job.
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: In his home, and we'd tell him the parts are
• 6:36
  Speaker 9: getting hard to get, and we'd have to take his
• 6:38
  Speaker 9: set into the shop and charge him a higher rate
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: because we had to pay black market prices for the tube.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: Was there any truth in that? I mean about the
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: tubes being hard to get? Not much.
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: Some of them are getting a little hard to get,
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: But we never paid any black market prices at Killed Goys.
• 6:50
  Speaker 10: We just slugged the customer, right, So tell.
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: Him about how you used to swap parts on a
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: new set.
• 6:54
  Speaker 9: Eh, Well, we lots of times pared a new tube
• 6:56
  Speaker 9: for one NOTTS so good, one NOTTS so good. We
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: put in a set with a bad too, and the
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: bad tube would exchange the factory under one of you guarantee.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't miss an angle, do they? Well that's it.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: You've heard from a man who couldn't stomach such practice
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: and quit went into business. A little bit of a
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: shop isn't doing too well, are you, Hank?
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: No?
• 7:13
  Speaker 9: But I think I can build up the business that
• 7:16
  Speaker 9: don't make quite as much profit as Killed Goers.
• 7:17
  Speaker 11: But I don't chisolm my customers either.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: Thanks a lot, Hank. I wonder if you'd wait in
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: the next office for me.
• 7:22
  Speaker 11: Sure, I hope I've helped a little bit to crack
• 7:24
  Speaker 11: down on some of these guys.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: Well, we think you have, Hank, thanks a lot.
• 7:27
  Speaker 11: Nice to match him, right, See letter seems like a nice.
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: Hey he is.
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: I've checked on him, and I've talked with some of
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: his customers since I met him.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: He's honest. It's a pretty vicious racket in it. Yeah,
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: I want to be stopped now.
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: Television is a wonderful medium of entertainment, but a lot
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: of the country doesn't have it yet. But when the
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: cable goes through and it finally opens up that people
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: should know about, the swindlers and crooks will try to
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: drip him.
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's the same way when radio first came. It
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: always seems like when anything new comes along, anything a
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: little complicated, maybe a little too involved for the average guy.
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: Have a few smart punks victimize him, robbed the consumer line.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: Well, and naturally we got to have some positive evidence
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: before we can finally complaint with the city attorney on
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: this thing.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, are you follow us to any ideas where.
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: To start on the best way to crack down on
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: these crouckt operators is to catch them red handed with
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: evidence and hold up in court. Yeah, we think maybe
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: we've got an idea.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: But we were talking to Dick Saunders over in our
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: sound lab and he says that he can bungle a
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: new TV set and we can market and photograph it
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: before it goes out to.
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: Be repaired, and when it's returned or effort's fixed, the
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: life what we need to go to court on.
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: Uh, yeah, that's it. We can operate right out of
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: one of our own homes and all we have to
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: do is hope the repairment overcharges us or tries the gippis. Yeah,
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: that's right, let's hope it works. From what we've heard.
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: It's got to ten am.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: The staff writer, Jack Connette, Ben and I drove back downtown.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: On the way, it was decided that we'd use Cannet's
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: home as the place from which to operate. It was
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: centrally located in an average neighborhood. When we got back
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: to our office, we contacted one of the local television
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: dealers and asked for the loan of one of their sets.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: They recommended Kate Halbert because the chassis is easily accessible
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: and any trouble could be located quickly because parks are visible.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: A sixteen inch k Halbert console model was sent to
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: our sound lab. Ten eighteen am. We met with Dick Saunders,
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: our police lab technician.
• 9:15
  Speaker 12: Here's a set sixteen inch console model, serial numbers CE
• 9:19
  Speaker 12: two eight one seven.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: Nine oh one. What have you done to it to day?
• 9:22
  Speaker 12: Well, first off, I tested the set and it performed perfectly.
• 9:25
  Speaker 12: It's a good set, brings in a fine picture. See
• 9:29
  Speaker 12: funny test Pattern's fine. Huh, Yeah, it's good. Tested all
• 9:36
  Speaker 12: the tubes all okay. How are you marking the set? Yeah?
• 9:39
  Speaker 12: Shame you know two about it?
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: Here?
• 9:44
  Speaker 12: Now if you look closely here at the base of
• 9:47
  Speaker 12: the socket, see it.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: What's that this is? It isn't it?
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Dick?
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: A little tiny dot of green paint.
• 9:52
  Speaker 12: That's right, Ben, I'm marking every part of the set
• 9:55
  Speaker 12: with his tiny green dot.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: Works good.
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: I didn't spot it out out anyone else w especially
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: if they didn't know about it.
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah. That so we're hoping.
• 10:03
  Speaker 12: In addition to this type marketing, we've taken all serial
• 10:05
  Speaker 12: numbers off the tubes and various parts. Anything that carried
• 10:08
  Speaker 12: any form of coding we took down. All major components
• 10:12
  Speaker 12: have been marked, transformers, coils, condensers, tuning in it so on.
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: Did you get any pictures in it?
• 10:18
  Speaker 12: Yeah, we did. Took photographs of the set in and
• 10:20
  Speaker 12: out of the cabinet. Took them from four different angles,
• 10:23
  Speaker 12: just to be sure we were well covered.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: Well, how did you bungle it?
• 10:25
  Speaker 12: Well, here's what I did to put the set out
• 10:28
  Speaker 12: of commission. I burned out the filament of the five
• 10:30
  Speaker 12: U four g lough Voll direct fire tube. What's the
• 10:33
  Speaker 12: cost of that particular tube, souders, Well, this tube ordinarily
• 10:36
  Speaker 12: retails for a dollar sixty five cents.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: Well, what does that do to the set? I mean
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: burning out the tube.
• 10:41
  Speaker 12: By burning out that filament, we cause the sound and
• 10:44
  Speaker 12: picture circuits to be completely inoperative.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: It won't work at all until that particular tube is
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: replaced by a good one.
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: That's right, Joe.
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: Well, how big a job would it be to trace
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: of troubling?
• 10:52
  Speaker 12: Well, could easily be detected by casual observation or by
• 10:56
  Speaker 12: noting that the tube, normally very hot, is cold.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: How much time would you say that request to make
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: a repair like this?
• 11:01
  Speaker 12: Ooh, I just may not. Over half hour would be
• 11:04
  Speaker 12: required a place to set an operating order?
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: Half hour?
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: Okay, thanks a lot, Dick, Are you're going to take
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: care of getting your set out to Cannet's home right away.
• 11:11
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, there's a dress right here. We'll get it
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: right out, all right. Fine, if you can try to
• 11:15
  Speaker 12: get whoever repairs is set to give you an itemized
• 11:17
  Speaker 12: bill of all work done in parts and stall right
• 11:20
  Speaker 12: in case you call more than one outfit today, here's
• 11:24
  Speaker 12: an extra bad five or four gtube. Thank you, Nick,
• 11:27
  Speaker 12: anything you'd like to.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: Know, No, I think that about covers it for me. Jack.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: One more thing.
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: I was just wondering if somebody spots the trouble right
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: away and replaces the tube, what do you think they
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: ought to charge to labor and all.
• 11:38
  Speaker 12: I checked through RTA on that this morning. They said
• 11:41
  Speaker 12: to make a house call and replace the detective tube
• 11:44
  Speaker 12: should not exceed four dollars and fifty cents.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: Okay, thanks, That does it for now? Yeah, I guess so.
• 11:49
  Speaker 12: Well you're all set, then, I think we'll get what
• 11:52
  Speaker 12: you're after.
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: Well, we should. The odds are all on our side.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: Ten thirty am, Monday, January nineteenth, we left the sound
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: Lab on West First Street and walked back to Bunco Division.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: We met with Captain McCauley and filled him in.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: We gave him the newspaper man Jack Cannett's address and
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: told him he could reach us there. The Console model
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: television set was delivered to Canet's home and properly installed.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: When we arrived at his home, we started going through
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: the yellow classified section of the phone directory. We made
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: a list of several TV service stores, just picked at random.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: We chose a wide variety. We picked stores that were
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: listed with large boxed in ads, stores that carried no ads,
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: just a listing. Ben called two places and staggered the
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: call so that the repairman would arrive about one hour apart.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: It was eleven thirty am when the first man made
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: his service call Bart's TV Experts on Hollywood Boulevard. It
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: took him forty five minutes. Was twelve fifteen when he
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: left Jack Cannett's home.
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: It must have been one of the two out of five.
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: Huh yeah, he seems okay. I wonder if I could
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: see that bill. Oh here you Gorjoe. Thanks, It looks okay.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: Replace five U four G tube dollars, sixty five service charge,
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: two fifty total charges four dollars and fifteen cents.
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: That kind of bears out connects thinking doesn't remember. When
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: we ask him how many men work in the shop,
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: he said he's alone. Yeah, I think you'll find that
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: that's a pretty good barometer. All the servicemen working alone
• 13:19
  Speaker 8: aren't like this guy, But the bigger percentage of the
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: honest ones are.
• 13:22

  Speaker 6: Not yet. I pushed his set back against the wall.
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: We better leave it on for a while, Jack, just
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: to make sure. Yeah, here we are. I gave you
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: the other tube. Yeah, I got it right here in

  Speaker 3: Right.
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: I'd like to try something if you follower thing, it'll
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: be okay, what's it?
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: I got a good little camera, like a three y
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: F you know, Candid. I think maybe if I turn
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: all the three way lamps up to four. Here's a
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: triple A fast film. It's in the camera now, maybe
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: we can grab some shots at the gun while he works.
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: What do you think, Well, if you're careful, don't let
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: him get wise. Maybe you ought to shoot some of
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: all of us, just so he doesn't think anything about it.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what I figured out. Just sit down on
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: that chair over there. But the set make him think
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: I'm just testing or something. I think I can bring
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: it off without arousing any suspicion. Okay, by get anything,
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: the guy's out of line. Will run the shots in
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: the daily news.
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: What do you figure on doing, Jackie gonna run a
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: series on the TV repair racket.
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the plan, leap Pain. He's our executive editor.
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: He thinks it's high time somebody exposed a swindle in
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: the paper and it'll be the next service man. I
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: let him in, right, better turn off the set.
• 15:02

  Speaker 10: Thanks?
• 15:20
  Speaker 13: Kay Halbert? Huh sixteen inch nice set? Oh what seems
• 15:24
  Speaker 13: to be wrong? If I knows something? Nothing seems to work.
• 15:27
  Speaker 10: What do you mean?
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: No?
• 15:28
  Speaker 10: Picture's tall? How about sound?
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: Nothing?
• 15:31
  Speaker 10: Uh huh, I'll be alright to pull the set away
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: from the wall.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: Here, go right are and give you a hand.
• 15:36
  Speaker 10: Oh no, it's sorry, I can handle well.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: I make some tools out.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 15:51
  Speaker 10: How long you have this set?
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: Oh about two or three months?
• 15:57
  Speaker 10: Dark in here? I wonder if we could have a
• 15:58
  Speaker 10: little more light.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: Sure, I'm gonna get these lamps up for you.
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: Thanks.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: How's that?
• 16:07
  Speaker 13: Oh fine? Thanks? Say it's a nice little camera you
• 16:11
  Speaker 13: got there. What kind is it?
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: I like three f one to five limbs? An experimenting
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: with some new indoor film. Do you mind being a
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: guinea pig?
• 16:19
  Speaker 10: It's all right with me. Shaneaway's good film on me, though, I.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: Think you're gonna get anything in this light yet.
• 16:25
  Speaker 10: Maybe worth a try anyway, I don't know about this set.
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: What do you mean?
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 16:30
  Speaker 13: It looks bad, hard to tell without getting it down
• 16:33
  Speaker 13: to the shop. Looks to me like your blocking transformers gone.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: And what's that mean? Well, I take the set in,
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: can't fix it here?
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: Huh, I'm afraid not.
• 16:41
  Speaker 13: You see, your parts are getting a little hard to
• 16:43
  Speaker 13: get these days, as set manufacturers are having a tough
• 16:45
  Speaker 13: time getting quality parts, and sometimes we have to spend several.
• 16:49
  Speaker 10: Hours just tracing the trouble.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Well, I guess that knocks out the ball game tonight,
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: I fellas sorry, take a couple of.
• 16:56
  Speaker 10: Days at least, want to really check it over.
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: Sure it's not a tube? What kind of stuff? Just
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: blue eye?
• 17:01
  Speaker 13: No, that's what most people think every time their set
• 17:03
  Speaker 13: goes out. It's definitely not a tube. Oh, it might
• 17:06
  Speaker 13: be some bad tubes. But your trouble's a great deal
• 17:08
  Speaker 13: more than that.
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: I think you got any idea what it's gonna run us.
• 17:12
  Speaker 10: It's hard to say right off hand.
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: Four or five dollars.
• 17:15
  Speaker 10: No, it's gonna run more than that.
• 17:17
  Speaker 13: I'll take the setting with me now, and I'll get
• 17:19
  Speaker 13: it back to you as soon as possible.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: You're gonna take the whole set, No.
• 17:21
  Speaker 13: I'll just pull a chassis out of the cabinet. Leave
• 17:23
  Speaker 13: the cabinet here. Oh say, by the way, yeah.
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: If everything turns out, it you'd like to see those pictures.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, if everything turns out, you will.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: You are listening to Dragnet Authentic Cases from official police files.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: Thursday, January twenty second, nine am, the TV set was
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: returned to reporter Jack Cannett's home after having been repaired
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: by a servicing company called Cheney's Video Repairs. We found
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: that the man who had come to Cannet's home to
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: make the service call was Robert V. Cheney, the owner
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: of the service outfit.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: As soon as the set was returned, we called the
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: sound lab and had it picked up and taken downtown.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Sergeant Marshall Zeno, who was working with us out of
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: Bunco Detail, called and said that Dick Saunders had finished
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: his investigation and wanted to see us right away. Ten
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: thirty am. We went down to West First Street the
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: Police sound Lab. Saunders went over his findings with us.
• 18:37
  Speaker 12: Here are the photographs before and after. Before we go
• 18:41
  Speaker 12: over these, let me show you what we found out
• 18:43
  Speaker 12: about your repair job. Okay, Oh, here's that receipt Chaney
• 18:49
  Speaker 12: he gave you when he returned the set. Yeah, here's
• 18:52
  Speaker 12: what the repair bill states. Replaced vertico blocking transformer replaced
• 18:57
  Speaker 12: five U four G tube, six AU six tube and
• 19:00
  Speaker 12: twelve AU seven tube.
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: And the charge was thirty two dollars and fifty cents.
• 19:04
  Speaker 12: Plus ninety eight cents tax, or a total of thirty
• 19:06
  Speaker 12: three dollars and forty eight cents.
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: Well, how does that break down, Dick?
• 19:09
  Speaker 12: What appears that the ninety eight cents tax was for
• 19:11
  Speaker 12: twenty eight dollars worth of material used in the repair.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: Did they really put in all that stuff?
• 19:15
  Speaker 12: You got yourself a prize package in that outfit. All
• 19:18
  Speaker 12: they did was to replace the five U four G tube.
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: That's all they did.
• 19:22
  Speaker 12: Yeh, here's the capper. The five U four g is
• 19:25
  Speaker 12: a war surplus tube, but it works. Okay.
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: What else did you find?
• 19:29
  Speaker 12: According to the photographs and coding system, no vertical blocking
• 19:32
  Speaker 12: transformers six a U six tube or twelve AU seven
• 19:35
  Speaker 12: tube were replaced. Let's get back the potus here. You
• 19:41
  Speaker 12: can take these along for your package. You see in
• 19:44
  Speaker 12: the set here, you know, let me show you see
• 19:49
  Speaker 12: this tube is the only part mentioned in the receiver.
• 19:51
  Speaker 12: Otherwise it doesn't carry our green paint coating system. Let
• 19:55
  Speaker 12: me turn the set around. Here the channel selector here this, yeah,
• 20:02
  Speaker 12: that's the tuning knob to bring in the station's channel selector.
• 20:05
  Speaker 12: They call it turn't it?
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 20:08
  Speaker 12: Falls off pretty easy, doesn't it?
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: Sure does? He? Thanks?
• 20:13
  Speaker 12: They left out the spring clip in here. It should
• 20:16
  Speaker 12: have been put back in because that's what hold of
• 20:17
  Speaker 12: the knob secured to the shaft.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: I've had that happen on radio sets.
• 20:20
  Speaker 12: Yeah. Sometimes they're a little stubborn to put back in.
• 20:23
  Speaker 12: But a good repairman never leave it. H Yeah, something
• 20:25
  Speaker 12: else here to sit around in the back.
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: I'll get it there. Oh, thanks Ben?
• 20:32
  Speaker 12: See her See how loose the chassis he is in
• 20:35
  Speaker 12: the cabinet now?
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: It sure is.
• 20:38
  Speaker 12: Wasn't that way when we got it from the Kay
• 20:39
  Speaker 12: Halbert dealer anymore than the channel selector was faulty. Perfect
• 20:42
  Speaker 12: shap from the guy. Look at the size of that chassis.
• 20:45
  Speaker 12: It's pretty heavy, yeah it is. Originally there were four
• 20:48
  Speaker 12: screws used to hold the chassis in the wood cabinet.
• 20:50
  Speaker 12: Cheney's repair outfit only put one back in. One screw
• 20:53
  Speaker 12: to hold that heavy chassis. It's a pretty sloppy job,
• 20:55
  Speaker 12: all right. You know what they'd probably tell you if
• 20:57
  Speaker 12: you ask him about this.
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: It only requires one screw.
• 21:00
  Speaker 12: The bad repairment can always improve on factory standards, usually
• 21:03
  Speaker 12: for his own convenience, certainly doesn't improve the product.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: Well, it looks like we got what we were after.
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: I think we got enough, Joe, I do. Let's see
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: what the city attorney thinks.
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: We collected all the evidence in the case against Cheney's
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: video Repairs. We met with Captain McCauley and took it
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: up to the second floor of the City Hall. We
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: met with Assistant City Attorney Boyd Taylor and showed him
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: our findings.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: He issued a warrant for the arrest of Robert W.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: Cheney, charging him with violation of Section forty four PC,
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: one count eleven. Thirty am Thursday, January twenty second, Ben
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: and I drove out to make the arrest.
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: Jack Kennett went along with us. This is it Cheney's
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: video repairs. Yeah, come on, Jack, there's Cheney behind the car. Yeah,
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: oh there, all right?
• 21:52
  Speaker 10: How's the set working?
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: All right?
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: We did a good job on that one. Gave you
• 21:56
  Speaker 10: a better break on the price, and I thought we could.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: You know, police officers, you're under arrest.
• 22:01
  Speaker 10: Were your kidding?
• 22:01
  Speaker 13: What for petty theft? Come on, let's go petty theft? Well,
• 22:05
  Speaker 13: I don't understand. You're the fellows I fix that set
• 22:08
  Speaker 13: for up and cress and drive.
• 22:09
  Speaker 10: Aren't you.
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: That's right? Your bill was a little high, wasn't it.
• 22:11
  Speaker 10: Oh No, wait a minute. If that's all that's bother,
• 22:13
  Speaker 10: you know, let's talk it over.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: Come on, let's go.
• 22:15
  Speaker 13: Look, I can fix that up with you guys. Just
• 22:17
  Speaker 13: tell me how much you want to pay and we'll
• 22:18
  Speaker 13: work out something.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: That seems to be the way you worked to every
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: PAYI AD deal right from the start, when you didn't
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: can sell us about it till now.
• 22:24
  Speaker 13: Well, look, you know how it is in this business.
• 22:26
  Speaker 13: If you don't charge some customers a little money, they
• 22:28
  Speaker 13: don't think you did anything to their sets.
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: You gotta try charging them for just the work you do.
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: Can't we get together on this thing. Let's just forget
• 22:35
  Speaker 10: the whole deal.
• 22:36
  Speaker 13: You don't know me anything. Now Here here, I'll refund
• 22:39
  Speaker 13: all your money. We'll call it square.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: Never mind, just leave them money in the cash register
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: and get your code.
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: Can't prove anything anyway, we think we can just step
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: around the counter this way.
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: Look, mister, you're not a cop, are you?
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Oh not?
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: Well, then tell them this isn't not a fair deal.
• 22:55
  Speaker 13: I'll give you back your money, trait. It's a little
• 22:57
  Speaker 13: late for that, chenny phone. Let's get some the papers
• 23:00
  Speaker 13: be ruined. You run out of business.
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: That's the way we got it figured. How many men
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: you have working here for you? Four? Why this right here?
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: You ever read this?
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: What is it?
• 23:13
  Speaker 10: Oh? The thing from the RTA?
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: Here? Read article two? Would you?
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: Two?
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right.
• 23:21
  Speaker 13: I will conduct myself and my business in an honest
• 23:24
  Speaker 13: and straightforward manner, meriting and inspiring the confidence of my customers.
• 23:29
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I know about this.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: You remember the RTA Radio Technicians Association at you? Yeah,
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: I am read Article four?
• 23:35
  Speaker 13: Would I propose to charge justin fair price for all
• 23:39
  Speaker 13: professional services rendered?
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: And I read this article seven.
• 23:44
  Speaker 13: I will engage only in fair and ethical practices recommended
• 23:47
  Speaker 13: and approved by the Radio Technicians Association as being conducive
• 23:51
  Speaker 13: to public confidence.
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: I read all this before.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: It's too bad you didn't remember it.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: The story you have just heard was true, only the
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: names were changed to protect the innocent.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: On April fifteenth, trial was held in Superior Court, Department
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: eighty two, City and County of Los Angeles, State of California.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: In a moment, the results of that trial and now
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: here is our star, Jack Webb.
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: In the few remaining moments, we'd like to take this
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: opportunity to thank you once again for your many kind
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: letters of encouragement that come in from week to week.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: And also we'd like to answer a few questions about
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: our program which seem common to many of the letters
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: that we receive from you. Many of you have inquired
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: why at the end of the program, in recounting the
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: punishment of the criminal involved in the particular case, we
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: generally refer to the sentence received as the term prescribed
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: by law. Well, we use this reference for the following reason.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: In the state of California, the length of a convicted
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: crist criminal's prison term is not set by the court,
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: but by the state adult authority. Most of the time,
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: a criminal is merely found guilty by the court and
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: then sentenced to the state penitentiary. After he serves a
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: year in prison, the convict has a hearing before this
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: state adult authority, at which time his actual sentence is set.
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: So you can see why we can't give you the
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: actual sentence in many cases. Now, other questions common to
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: many of your letters concerned some of the authentic technical
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: police terminology which comes up from time to time on dragnet.
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: With the help of George Fennemon, we'd like to explain
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: some of the more common ones for you if we may.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: First, you've heard us used the.
• 25:42
  Speaker 12: Term or the letters APB APB that's in All Points
• 25:47
  Speaker 12: bulletin a communication dispatched to all divisions and law enforcement
• 25:52
  Speaker 12: agencies throughout the state.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: And then we feel sure that you remember the term
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: mama sheet.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: A mama sheet is the master information inform on a
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: criminal in a police department file. It contains his complete description,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: his habits, relatives, acquaintances, everything about him known to the police.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: Thank you, George, and thank you ladies and gentlemen for
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: your very fine letters from time to time. If we may,
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: we'll take this opportunity to explain a few more of
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: our authentic police terminology.
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: Robert W. Cheney, owner and operator of Cheney's Video Repairs,
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: was tried and convicted on several counts of violating Section
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: forty four PC petty theft. He was fined two hundred
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: dollars and received the sentence as prescribed by law. Petty
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: theft is punishable by imprisonment in the County Jail for
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: not more than six months.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, Dragnett wishes to thank the Los Angeles
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Daily News and its feature writer Jack Connett for their
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: valuable assistance in preparing this case for present. It is
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: our combined belief and knowledge that not all television repair
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: servicemen are dishonest and unscrupulous in their practices. A great
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: percentage of these technicians are forthright and conduct their business
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: in strict compliance with the Code of Ethics. It is
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: these men who, when informed of the unfair conditions that
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: exist in their trade, will drive the dishonest and crooked
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: from their profession.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: You have just heard drag Met, a series of authentic
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: cases from official files. Technical advice comes from the Office
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: of Chief of Police W. H. Parker, Los Angeles Police Department.
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: It's the Silver Jubilee on NBC.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: For twenty five years, NBC has been bringing you the
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: very best in radio entertainment.
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: Listen now to another exciting story on Counterspy coming up
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: on MBC.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome back, Well. This was definitely an important episode for
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: its time. Television was still in the process of adoption
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty only nine percent of American households had
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: a television set. This would expand to twenty three percent
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: by the end of nineteen fifty one, so there were
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: going to be far more television set owners who could
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: be victimized, so it was viotal to get this warning out.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: The timelessness comes back to one comment that Romero made
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: that the something very similar it happened when radio came out,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: and that it happened with every new technology. And while
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: it's not exactly the same, every new technology, and we
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: have seen so many over recent years, comes with a
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: new type of scam. It was also kind of prizing
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: they use the actual name of the reporter as a
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: character in the story. They do that often with police,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: but kind of different, but I understand why they did it.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I also enjoyed the Jack Web answering the listener questions segment,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: and I don't think they did anymore, which is kind
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: of a shame, because it would be great to have
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: those around because sometimes there are unanswered questions or things
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: that we don't know about, or we just have to
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: kind of guests, and so it's great to have something
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: a bit more authoritative that you can sign to. All right,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: listener comments and feedback. Now and we go to Spotify
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: and we have a couple of comments on The Big Sophomore.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Don Wright's Wow, this one had Johnny Dollar level sorrow.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure people listening to the original would have
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: turned off the radio, turned to each other and said,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: just happened. It would be interesting to figure out how
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: listeners reacted to this particular episode. It's not one of
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: the ones that's frequently talked about, but it is kind
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: of a pattern of drag now and you can see
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: it going into the nineteen sixties TV series as well,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: of talking about issues that are generally not dealt with
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: or we're not generally dealt with at the time, particularly
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: when it comes to kids and their plot and so
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: calling to mind this sort of reality that could very
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: well have been going on in the listener's own communities.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: I think it's a challenging thing and certainly some listeners
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: might not have quite known what to make of it.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: And then Harrison wrote The Big Sophomore. Indeed, the things
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: he had to deal with and we'll have to deal
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: with psychologically for the rest of his life are herculean
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: for anyone to deal with, let alone a teenager. Very true, Harrison.
• 31:00
