I remember as a kid, dad gave me this old radio, it was really neat, and I really wish I still had it. But it was AM only. I could get specific signals that caused a tick-tick-tick sound, and another one that would give a squalling sound, and under my bunk beds, it became my control panel for my make believe submarine. It was awesome! (Later, I somehow got hooked on Country Music!).
I remember those radios. My brother and I had one in our bedroom. It was about 18" high and shaped like a cathedral. It had a tiny little window on the front where the AM frequencies were printed on a lighted wheel. When you turned the knob, the numbers went by behind an index line. We used to "secretly" listen to the baseball game, when we were supposed to be sleeping. I hadn't thought about that in years! Thanks.
