Re: More Chinese AM radio kits
I'm so glad to find other enthusiasts who collect these kits. To date I have around 16 various types.
My reason for collecting them goes back some 50+ years ago when I saw an advert in our local Saturday newspaper and in the small adds on the back pages a local shop, Teleradio, in Upper Edmonton (Nth London) was selling a basic transistor radio kit, even with a plastic case !!!
However, Mum put her foot down, as: "We didn't have enough spare money to waste on toys".
Little did I know, Dad must have had one of his 'wins' on the 'Horses' and, 8 weeks later, on my birthday, I was presented with the very transistor radio...……..the rest is history .
