I remember those little guys.. You could get 'em as check-out aisle hangers for $10, $5 even towards the end.. If it worked when you got it home, you were LUCKY... The ones down here also had an AM/FM radio built in, that MIGHT pick the local stations... Pretty SAD, the electronics were on a tiny board that likely was NOT repairable... I'm old enuf to remember the magnificent 5" Sony 5-303 series, & how the guts of THEM took up the ENTIRE cabinet.. You might check at yr local Radio Shack, they MAY have a couple that escaped being Shit-Canned..
