[Electronics-Talk] Old-fashioned portable radio

[carcione at access.net]

Just by luck, I found the exact kind of radio I want at Amazon.

It looks like the transistor radio I had as a kid-rectangular, volume knob,
station knob, telescoping antenna.  It has a switch to turn it on and choose
AM or FM.  It has a speaker and an earphone jack.

It uses 2 AA batteries for power.

It sounds fine, and the volume and station tuning are fine.  It doesn't seem
to have any battery-draining clock or lights or whatever whiz-bang sighted
people seem to want.

I'm sharing this just in case someone else wants a plain, old-fashioned,
no-frills radio.  I'm ordering another one for the hopefully distant day
when this one breaks and they're not made anymore.  Good old Sony radios.
