All I Wanted To Do Was Listen To Music

tablejockey, maybe you could send one of those fine looking all transistor radios my way, just for the purpose of demonstrating and testing!

Not a cheap hobby, by any means....

I got nothin'

@tablejockey,

I had a Panasonic portable radio that looked remarkably similar except mine was wrapped in leather back in 1965.  It was the introduction to FM radio that got me started on this expensive hobby.

That exact model was in the garage of my childhood home. My older brother and his friends listened to it while working on his 64 Impala.  

He always had to turn the dial because mom didn't approve of those Beatles and Stones degenerates while she was doing laundry.
