What was your first radio?
I seem to recall that mine was a rocket shaped crystal set that I had
back in the 1960's.
Anyone else remember those things?

I had one of those, it was red with a blue nose cone. Only would get two
stations most of the time, a nearby one at 1560KHZ,
WJBK, if memory serves?

and another one,
CKLW on 800KHZ. For some reason it almost always covered up WJR on
760KHZ. My first radio was a record player/AM combo deal that always
hummmed a little, and would zap the hell out of you if you touched any
of the chassis screws while you were grounded. My dad got zapped and got
me a new record player and gave me huge AM/FM portable(tubes)that really
sounded great. The new record player was as dangerous as the original
one.
