" still have my first portable "transistor radio" -- Silvertone, circa 1961'
Lindy — (archived)

Oh...my ...Gawd!

I still have MY first transistor radio with the Conelrad triangle markings that my dad gave me for Christmas in 61-62. Still in it's leather case, still works...GREAT sound. It's a SPICA "Superheterodyne' (whatever THAT means!)

You know Fox, we're part of a dyin breed. I mean who KEEPS stuff like that for 45 years? Don't tell me you're a Virgo!?

I show it to my kids every once in awhile to show them the 'value' (?) of taking care of things. They look at me like I'm crazy.

The only other person who appreciates the fact I still have it is my highschool sweetheart who says I ought to bring it with me on our next annual hike in the gorges and conservation area sof our old hometown.
(Frankly, I think he wants to get me back on that blanket we used to take with us on our hikes...LOL.......;~O
