I have WW2 childhood memories. Air raid drills, curtains pulled , all
Lights out and sneaking a peak at the air raid warden walking down the middle of the street. The ration books and the red and blue tokens given as change. The thrill of V-E day and then the thrill of V-J day. Thrilling and some scary radio shows that let one use their imagination.

When you turned on the system it would have to warm up to get going, so the music would "rev up" from no sounds to loud over like 10 seconds or so. Are these systems were all in one cabinet which would look good against a wall.
