I thought the RCA dog was in all microphones....Yeah..weird huh... One time at church I asked my dad how microphones worked and he said there was a little dog in there that moved up and down and it made noises louder. I instantly pictured the dog on RCA records sitting buy that big horn looking phonograph thing and thought he was in all microphones. I found out years later that my dad (from the old'n days) used the word dog to decribe many little parts he didnt understand or know better how to describe...
