Does anyone still listen to transistor radios? I have one that my grandfather gave to me when I was a small child. I still love listening to it. It is amazing to me that, as old as it is, it still works.

Oh, wow, that's really cool! Thanks for posting the picture.

Most of my radios are from the 1940's and 1950's.

Ooh that's a sweet transistor radio! When I was little my grandmother had like 2 or 3 of these radios, one was pretty big! They looked awesome.

My mother threw them all away. Said that "old things must go and make way for new". If I was older I would've manipulated her so I can keep them!

That is a neat radio. How old is it exactly? At first glance I thought it was a Walkman! Perhaps this was the same kind of thing way back when.

Soundbuzz that is a shame, I bet your Mom regrets it now though.

Haha JiminyCricket. NOPE! She's still clueless grr Mad

Oh btw Wayne, I just noticed you posted photos of your radios up. Geez quite a collection there. That's your site? They sure look mighty gorgeous! I was swooning away. I simply love anything that looks old and classy! Oh boy I would like one of those radios. That 1940 RCA Victor Model 36X, especially. Beautiful. Ahh.

I also enjoyed the pictures of the radios. What a wonderful job you have done Wayne on that Stewart Warner model. How long did it take you altogether?
