Retro Radio Set
Have a new "old" toy; a *correction: GE Super Radio II* AM/FM receiver found it's way to me. It was missing the telescoping antenna, but otherwise in good working order and condition. I have borrowed a good sized antenna off another radio until I get a replacement close to the original length; though I could have just connected wire to the external-antenna terminals.
Absolutely love the sound quality, but I remember a couple of family members having these, or perhaps the first models, when I was a kid. It's the classic handle, that funny, square on/off button on the top, and the large, aluminum tuning nob that brings back some memories... Reminds me of the late seventies/early eighties.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
