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.


And it was tuned by turning the nose cone. It was red and white (maybe some blue,
but I don't recall that).


Anyone else remember those things?

My first radio was also a rocket shaped radio when I was a youngster.
It would have been mid to late fifties. All I remember is it had a
small antenna about 2-3 inches that was pulled out at tip of nose. I
don't remember if this was for tuning or just an antenna. Listening was
by earphone only and was able to pick up local AM stations.
