rfsmr on May 1, 2026 8:50 pm I think I had that $3.84 portable AM radio back then. It was tan and fake wood grain.
BillieDoc-Holiday on May 1, 2026 8:57 pm My father still has the one on the top right in his garage. Still works.

ruby651 on May 1, 2026 9:05 pm That $36 clock radio would cost about $240 today. Now I get why we didn’t own a clock radio until the late 70s.
Lozerien on May 1, 2026 9:28 pm I had the radio in the upper left corner. Made in Singapore. Still remember the simulated wood grain vinyl.
