Minneapolis Brewing company, makers
of Grain Belt Beer issued these
talking
scoreboard radios to display and
distribute to Midwest taverns and
restaurants. A bartender would write
live score updates on the acrylic
face of this radio with a grease pencil,
provided with the radio. Minnesota Twin
games were broadcast on AM radio
station WCCO 830; The Grain Belt
Scoreboard aired on WDAY-Radio - AM
-970 - NBC - 7 times a day 6 days a
week, and KNOX AM radio 1310 in Fargo,
North Dakota.
The company name "Minneapolis Brewing company" on the back sticker dates
the radio to about the early to mid
1960s, no later than 1966, when in 1967
the company name was officially changed to
"Grain Belt
Breweries."
A sticker on the back reads: “this
electronic advertising sign is the
property of the Minneapolis Brewing Co.
and is loaned with the understanding
that it will be prominently displayed.
NOTE: To replace bulbs or tubes, loosen
screws holding back panel to sides of
cabinet. Remove knob by pulling from
front of cabinet lift back panel to
service." There’s no indication of who
manufactured the set.
