Does anyone know how to wire a DC pack using the plug that came provided with the radio. If i use 8 1.5v D cells how do I wire them to the 3 prong plug.

I like to DX and pull in SW as well. You have a nice collection there. My dad had an Astronaut 8 and I wish I had not let it get away from me.

A good little talk on two lovely radios. I very nearly brought a 160 a few weeks ago to go at the side of my 394. Great work and 5*

I have the Astronaut 8. It's a great radio. I wished I could one day have the DX 160. My dad bought me the Astronaut 8. He gave it to me for Christmas 1972. the store had JUST got them in. It was brand new for 1973 but my dad was able to get one Christmas Eve 1972! He knew I loved radios and this was the best AC/DC portable they had at the time.

@Lockemeister Excellent. Thanks for sharing your experiences with the Astronaut 8 Realistic Radio. It is a good radio--- expecially for the time period. We got ours about the same time--- age here by the way, is 56. Best to you from Alabama !!! 73.
