Default Re: Childhood memories of radios.

I grew up in the early 70's so my radio memories are transistorised!

The family radio was an early 60's GEC Transistor Seven BC505 in red.

The 'kitchen' radio was a Hong Kong black leatherette special called an 'Ameltone Venus' from around the turn of the decade.

Dad had his own radio-cassette which was a luxury 'Calex' TDK701 complete with analogue clock and it went very loud.

When I became a teenager I was allowed to chose a 'Vesta' portable radio from Woolworths. I wanted the woodgrain one but they'd sold out and I had to settle for the silver one.
