It was almost free. A fifteen transistor radio, with very, very nice AM
reception at night. The frequency scale, as is to be expected, is far
from accurate.

A good day...

Good job Mike, I bet you're one happy camper.:-)
Congratulations. Maybe give us a report on the BCB
reception. Are you going to use a loop with it?

Looks good.

Never had one of those, but I had several other Lloyd's multiband
portables. One of them was sold under an amazing number of brand names,
including Philco, Realistic, and others. Identical except for case
leather color, and in some cases, the metal trim color, gold or
silvertone. They seemed to hold up better than the other "off brand"
stuff, like Alaron, Arvin, Juliette, and Raliegh. My dad sold almost all
the off brands that were around back in the 60's and early 70's.

I had some great CB walkie talkies that had solid aluminum cases on them
and they worked great. They sold the same ones, in a different color, at
RS, and at Olson in yet another color.

I think we all regret getting rid of some radios. I still miss a Candle
two transistor I had in the early sixties. Another kid in class had a
six transistor I could only dream about.

Well, things sure do change. He became a millionaire, but I have a
FIFTEEN transistor radio. Guess who's laughing now...
