I have pieces of the Radio Shack 8 transistor radio 28-222 that I got as a gift back around 1977 with the white or tan/brown case.As I found it a couple years ago with the PC board broken and parts missing .What a shame.For some reason I never completed the kit when I got it.
For some reason these current kits look cheesy to me as I compare them to the old Radio Shack 28-222 kit.
As years went by around 1983 I picked up the cheaper Radio Shack 28-4029 radio kit model in the black case with 2 transistors and a LM386 for the audio amp .It sucks compared to the original kit.
As I was doing alittle homework on these kits the other day .I found a couple posts on ARF about the Graymark version of the old Radio Shack kit .The model number is or was Graymark AM radio model 536.
I would love to get my hands on one of these Graymarks.

The 1970's RS radio kit had these plastic style transistors like in the photo in the attachment and not the old metal germ 2sb54-2sb56 style transistors.
