It is an old Sears LW/SW1/SW2/SW3/AM/FM Radio.On the front it says,Sears
MULTI-BAND and on the speaker grill it says,20 WAv FARER.Inside the back
panel on the radio's chassis battery compartment (I don't use betteries
with this radio) it says,Model NO.8277 Chassis NO.564 40050.The
off/Volume control switch doesn't work properly and the seven push
buttons on top (there is an eight push down button button to turn the
dial light on temporairly and one of the other push down buttons on top
is for BATT.CHECK) often do not lock down properly and stay locked down
when they should.I often have to mess around with the push buttons on
top of the radio and mess around and wiggle the off/on/volume control
knob.It could be that the thin nut on the switch only needs tightened up
again,but I did that recently and that didn't help much) I really like
this old radio because it pulls in stations really good,especially AM
stations.I can replace the off/on/volume control switch if I can locate
a proper replacement switch.It is a heavy old radio,I guess it probally
weighs at least twenty five pounds or more.It was in the same condition
as it is now when I bought it for $4.00 at a Goodwill thrift store about
five years ago,I guess that is why the previous owner donated it to the
Goodwill thrift store.I was thinking someone could look my old radio up
on the internet and tell me where I can buy a proper replacement
on/off/volume control switch for my radio.There is a seperate little
panel on the back of the radio that flips up and on the left there is a
jack for an external antenna,next to that is a slide switch for ON OFF
BATT.SAVER,next to that,another slide switch for,Radio,Tape
Rec.Phono.next to that,another jack for,Tape Rec.Phono.next to
that,Earphone.On the front of the radio at top right is a slide switch
for AFC.ON.below that are five small
knobs,Fine.Tun.,Squelch,Treble,Bass,and below that is the on/off/volume
control switch I want to replace myself.There is a TUNE.BATT meter to
the top right side of the small control knobs.There are also two large
tuneing knobs near the bottom on the front panel of the radio,one is for
AM,the one on the right next to that is for FM.Like I say,I really like
this old radio and I want to get it in decent operating condition.The
telescopic antenna is missing except for the bottom metal tube of the
antenna,but I think I can locate a proper replacement antenna perhaps at
a local Radio Shack store or at the Hooper Sound store on Terry Road in
Jackson or I will look in my phone book.Thanks for any information and
help concerning this old radio.

Does webtv offer courses in the use of the return/enter key? Does your keyboard
have an 'Enter' key?


I just pressed mine twice...See how this sentence is formed a bit BELOW the
previous one?


That effect makes it easier to follow what you are writing. Eighty seven percent
of people surveyed said that they would enjoy your little compositions 00.01
percent MORE than they do now, if they were easier to read.


That, surely, is worth the effort.


We will work on composition and content at a later date.

My webtv wireless keyboard has those keys and many more keys too.I just
now counted 86 keys and 10 buttons and 1 slide switch on my webtv
keyboard.My webtv wireless hand held remote,which I often use (I can
pull up an on screen keyboard and use my hand held remote to do the same
functions as I can with my keyboard too,any webtv user will tell you
that) has buttons on it for,Shopping,Power,Back,Scrolling up and
down,GO,Recent,Options,Home,Search,Favorites and there are four Arrow
buttons on there too,same as on my webtv keyboard and on your keyboard
too.I have a few more webtv wireless hand held remotes with many more
buttons than that on them and I can do many more things with them too.I
can click on PIP (Picture in Picture and get tv PIP on my webtv tv
screen and I can control the tv volume and change tv channels with
buttons on my keyboard too.(but,I have a seperate tv set I use with my
DirecTV service) My webtv isn't really stupid.I enjoy it very much.There
are many other things webtv can do and does do too.I have
computers,broadband and webtv.I am not missing out on anything,you
are.Why don't you look around on eBay or Circuit City or Best Buy and
see if you can locate yourself a webtv too.Who knows? You just might
like webtv,give it a try before you knock it,it won't cost you much
money.There are many folks who use webtv AND computers.Do some searches
on the internet for webtv and msntv and you can read much more about
webtv and msntv,,,, if you want to.

I don't believe your WebTV keyboard HAS a return key. You could PROVE it if you
had one. Do you enter text with a joystick or game controller?

I think we all know what 'joystick' you folks in CanaDuh play with!

So, stop doing it.

I just now pressed my webtv wireless keyboar's Return Key to get back
here and respond here and type this posting.On my webtv wireless hand
held remote control unit,the GO button in the middle of the ring of four
Arrow buttons is the same function as the Return key on my webtv
wireless keyboard.The Return key on my webtv keyboard and the GO button
serve the same function as the Enter key on my computer keyboards and on
your computer keyboard(s) too.There are adapters available for folks who
want to use wired keyboards with webtv too.I think the website for those
adapters is, www.omdev.com but I might be mistaken about the
website,you can do a search for that.

I use the KEYS on my webtv wireless KEYBOARD.Get it? KEYS,just like on
computer KEYBOARDS,Get it? Sheeesh,Jim White,former talk radio show host
out of KMOX St.Louis,Missouri sure is right,YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID! and
those canaDUHians PROVE that every Day and Night!
cuhulin

OH,I forgot to mention,you live in canaDUH,don't you? and I remember
reading in webtv alt discussion news groups (which computers can not
access behind webtv's Firewalls) that Rogers in canaDUH messed it up for
canaDUHians as far as webtv is concerned in canaDUH.

All canaDUHians know how to do is Shoving their heads up their asses and
