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?

First radio that I bought was ye olde Realistic DX-440 (aka
the Sangean 803a). However, for about 6 months before
that purchase, I'd been listening to a Hallicrafters S-20R
Sky Champion that was parked in the lab that I worked at
as an undergrad. The real fun came when I stumbled on
a Hammarlund HQ-180A in another lab room, but I couldn't
talk the professor into giving that one up...
