I can actually remember when those were state-of-the-art ... now
consigned to museums ... GPS is wonderful, but those darn things were
just plain FUN!

Had a tiny 32 ft. boat I lived on and worked construction, back in the
1970's. I can remember toying with it one exactly like it!

Excellent find!

Had a chance to play with it yet?

Silicon or Germanium transistors?

Any way to hook up an external antenna, or just the loop? (I suspect the
latter).

How is the sensitivity and selectivity on MW?

I learned about friction causing static on one of those at Apache Lake
in 1962. We were cooking bacon, listening to KRUX Glendale, and the
crackling on the radio was in perfect sync with the stainless steel
spatula on an iron skillet. Luckily the guy frying the bacon was a
scientist who pointed out the phenomenon.

Great radio. LW and MW and 3 MHz Marine?

When I type on my battery (two AA batteries) powered WebTV keyboard, if
I have my keyboard real close to my radio, I can hear my keys clicking
through the radio speaker.

It's a Wireless Keboard [Anything] it is usually
"RF" or sometimes 'IR' Infrared

TV Remote Controls "IR" & "RF"

Car Key Fob Remote Controls with the little
LED Light are "IR"
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question...6104258AApWU7d
The ones with no visible LED are usually "RF".

- Try putting a typical remote control near an AM radio.

Yeah that is true too.

Put a Cellphone next to an AM/FM Radio for an Hour
and you will hear it being 'Pinged' periodically too.

Get one of those little bitty digital voice recorders (I have two of
them.One of them can record up to about 235 hours) and record your
cellphone conversations.

Why? I don't know, just for the hell of it, I reckon.

A Shopping Adventure
 

My shopping adventure this morning at the Goodwill store was, three
round nesting tin cans with the lids, I think they date back to the
1950's or early 1960's, they are old and I would say they are in poor to
fair condition, I like them anyway.

I also bought an old wall mount thermostat control (it is a Marvair
brand name) for heating and airconditioning temperature control.It is
the kind that has a little glass tube with mercury inside of the glass
tube.I like it too.Some people collect all kinds of old thingys, so do
I.
