While "The Walton's" was chock full of anachronisms, nothing would have kept them, based upon basic setup of the series, from having a mains powered radio.

The family business was a sawmill, which was electric powered. The farm was a side thing for extra income. The home wasn't so rural, it was at the base of the mountain.


"1. What would be the chances a rural farm in the 30's in WV would have "Hi Line" power 2. Given that the Walton's probably did not have an electric line to their home wouldn't be more likely that it would have been a "Walton" Silvertone Farm Set?"
