My daughter, raised in FL, had that accent until she was almost 5.

OMG, when I was about 4 my older brother got one of these for Christmas. I was entranced by it. If I wouldn't have found this video, I probably would never had thought about it for the rest of my life. Thanks for the memories!!

@musicom67 Yeah, if the kid was so interested in hearing the "boooooolllll game" why didn't pop just buy him a cheap transistor radio? Small, inexpensive, problem solved.

@nocusr Yes, Remco quite often straddled the line of making things appear to do more. I remember my Kennedy Airport, wow, but looking at the box, you would have thought the planes flew, or did something! If I had watched that commercial, I would, as you, had thought someone on another set or radio could hear you. Actually, Remco DID have a more expensive product, the Caravelle, which did just that.

I built this in the late '50s. It worked but the tuning was b r o a d, picking up only 2 stations in Queens NY. The advertising was kind of deceptive - the "broadcasting" was only through the internal speaker. As a kid, I expected to broadcast to another radio, and the speaker implied you could listen to the radio. That being said, it was a major part of me getting interested in electronics. Also, these are still available in ebay. Thanks for the trip doen memory lane!
