I'm not going to bad mouth this one 'cause I'm glad we've still got radio & that I can tune in on my computer. My current favorite is out of a little station in Wasilla, Alaska 100.9FM playing country legends all day long. There's also a station out of the gold coast of Australia that spins a good platter too! So, I'll keep the radio and leave the cadets for Patty, FBS, and GG.

Oh for the days when gay meant happy and cheerful.

Not exactly a portable radio set, is it? I came across an old portable receiver Mom kept from the late 1950's. Useless now as a portable - it required a battery that is no longer manufactured to power a tube chassis. I think it was rated at 25 volts. I suppose one could string two car batteries together to do that.

Yeah, RobK, let's keep those pesky homosexuals in their place, eh?

There are at least 2 people I know here that could get that radio rigged up to work and another one I suspect could do it too.

@KDP -- You might try a 24V battery from a ride-on toy (one of those Jeeps or dune-buggies which 6 year-olds drive down the sidewalk).
Since you have to buy a charger anyway, you might, if you're anywhere near handy, try running the radio directly off the charger to see if you can avoid laying out the $120+ for the battery. A decent 24V/1.5A charger should be around $40.

@patty -- That sounds vaguely ominous!

MUWAHAHA!(jk)
No honey, the list of wuvians who could make that radio work due to great electronic knowledge and skill.
