I remember buying this radio about a half century or so ago as a child. It used up all of my birthday money and I found it really liberating to plug in the mono earphone and be transported to a different experience. One of the first things I remember hearing on it was Jeff Wayne's musical version of War of the world, whose live show I will hopefully be seeing with my father in five six or so weeks.
Anyway, I bought a 9v battery for it yesterday and, guess what? It still works! There ate only 2 channels it can still receive in this day and age though, lol:
