Here’s the radio I had as a kid.
Searching Google I found this. I don’t necessarily remember them, but it’s starting to jog my memory a little bit.
The good ole days when everyone was competing against one another for a slice of the pie. They still are but things are not the same, those...
Welcome!
It’s a beauty. My friend had an Akai reel to reel in high school, it was a hand me down from his brother. Probably early 70s model.
