10. I still have one of these in excellent shape, incredible radio. Someone did a youtube video on it!

14. Nice! 👍🏻

15. I keep a battery in it ready for use. Great for emergencies, powerful reception and almost

as good as new. These older radios we grew up with are still incredible.

3. I never had a six transistor radio

For a time, however, beginning in 1965 when he was drafted, I "inherited" my brother's larger Zenith. I spent many nights in northeastern Iowa listening to KAAY out of Little Rock. Later I found WLS, Chicago, CKLW, Detroit, WLW, Cincinnati, WWL, New Orleans, and occasionally WABC, New York, among others. All AM, all monaural, and coming out of a single 3 inch speaker. It was heaven.

4. Very cool! 📻

5. Oh, yeah!

It was fun to see how far off a station you could get at night on AM radio.... A few times I remember WABC out of New York fading in and out on my little black transistor radio. Boy did I think I was cool having a transistor radio!

7. Id take mine out on the roof outside of my bedroom window at night. If the weather was clear I

could pick up XERF and The Wolfman! 📻

6. I do

And I would listen to it in bed with the speaker made for a single ear. On a clear night I could pick up staticy AM in MN from the deep south.

8. Too cool! 📻

9. Yes. Mine was a Zenith with a leather cover/case

but it looked very much like this one. I wish I still had it, even though it was only AM. (There really weren't any FM stations back then, come to think of it.)

12. Leather case eh!

Show off!

[Glorfindel]

17. Not a show-off. Just lots of affectionate aunts and uncles who enjoyed spoiling me

Naturally, I didn't mind a bit!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

18. Ah ha! 👍🏻
