15. Radio Shack Mini 6

Dec 2016

I bought the Radio Shack Mini 6.. which was probably 3"x3" in size... maybe smaller. This image is close.. so maybe it was 7 transistors after all. I think I always had the radio bug. As a kid in the 20's my dad used to tell me about his crystal radio, and I had a kit as a kid. There were always SW radios in the family. My grandparents and my dad both had big floor models. I got my first SW back in HS.. and come to think of it, I'm still a radio person. I almost never watch TV... the local NPR and liberal talk stations are almost always on.
