FWIW - The first Radio that I bought with my own money
for myself was a Hitachi AM/FM Radio Model TH-812.

* Back in the early 1960s I managed to receive "WBZ" in
Boston using this Hitachi TH-812 (TRF AM/MW Portable
Radio) with an outboard 'inductively coupled' Tunable Ferrite
Rod Antenna Feed by a 65 Foot Random Wire Antenna.

NOTE: This took me Two Winter Seasons to Log
this Cross Country DX Catch in Oakland, CA.

The first Radio that I make {assembled} for myself was a
HeathKit GR-64 {4-Tube} Shortwave Listener's (SWL) Radio

That was followed by building a HeathKit GC-1A
"Mohican" {Transistorized} General Coverage Receiver

My first radio
 

Unfortunately my radio history wasn't as wonderful as some I've heard on
this NG. After wearing down the battery on my dad's car radio, I was given
a 6 transistor AM portable when I was 10 years old. Unfortunately I went to
a boarding school for blind children and one of the boys ripped out the
ferrite rod antenna. I borrowed my mom's 12 transistor radio for a while
until my dad bought me a Lloyds AM/FM radio. Having become addicted to
shortwave from listening to the Pye radios at school and my mom's
Westinghouse floor model, my mom gave me a Sony AM/FM/SW radio. I loved the
image-free reception it had. I bought my own shortwave radio second hand
from a friend. It's the RCA CR-91A military surplus radio. I still have it
and it still works fine except around 19 MHz. By the way, I have my mom's
Westinghouse radio and it works quite well.
