Default Re: Childhood memories of radios.

Heavy black LW/MW/SW Ferranti with a cream grill which only required occasional attention. I remember searching all the bands and finding the sinister dot-dot-dot-dash signal that repeatedly indicated that we were not at war with anyone- yet. The amount of crossover and continental interference on this wireless in the early summer evenings vexed me as a kid. I have seen a picture of this 'set in an online wireless museum recently so it is still extant.
