I love the ‘old school’ accents the kids have…”Gee, da bawl-game” “…All ya have ta do is put together all da parts…. the tyoo-ner…” Does any kid still have this accent?
Wow.I build a HAM Radio myself in 1999, and it was 15X harder to put together that this thing.
I built this in the late ’50s. It worked but the tuning was b r o a d, picking up only 2 stations in Queens NY. The advertising was kind of deceptive – the “broadcasting” was only through the internal speaker. As a kid, I expected to broadcast to another radio, and the speaker implied you could listen to the radio. That being said, it was a major part of me getting interested in electronics. Also, these are still available in ebay. Thanks for the trip doen memory lane!
I had one too. It introduced me to the world of audio feedback when I put the mic in front of the speaker
HOW SWEETmy is Remco
Love the hat!!!
how many kids could even attempt to build one of these today?
Classic! LOL!It’s no Heathkit, but I would have bought it back then!
