Default Re: Festive vintage technology traditions/memories.

Ah yes, I remember my first Lego light brick. I had great fun with it making things light up. I also had a one-valve record player which I still have although I can't remember the make and it's too cold to go and have a look (Alba?). Then someone gave me a Dansette transistor radio as a Christmas present. Must have been one of the first pocket-sized transistor radios. Full of AF117s. I still have it here on the shelf. Maybe one day I'll put a battery in it and see what happens. It hasn't been used for getting on for 50 years. Later on I got a Philips Radio Engineer (is that what it was called?). I still have that as well, along with the Interphone Engineer.
