Nice radio! Being the tweak that I am, I'd love to get my hands on a small radio of that vintage and renovate the transformer-coupled amp with an LM386 and, hi-pass filtered at 200hz.

Couldn't agree more.

At least here in the UK it's once in a blue moon that in this day and age that you will find someone like SpeakerFreak95 (sadly). It's an interesting radio I think - although I do wonder if this was intended mostly as a novelty item due to a lack of an AC input and lack of major functionality in the calendar department.

Hi Rick

I was pre guessing it and looking forward to seeing some fancy gearing or mechanism to select one of 31 days but it looks like one has to remember which week you’re in.

I wonder if it was a break through decision in the designing of the radio when someone said, ’Let’s just change the names of the days, it’ll save a lot of hassle’  ??

Anyway, it’s a generous gift from your young mate, well done to him.

73’s ... Andy
