You can find more info on the Flavoradio (than you ever wanted) at oswegoradio.com Also, articles in the June 2002 and March 2008 issues of Antique Radio Classified.
Briefly, the original Flavoradios were introduced in 1972 and ran through 1986 giving them the record for longest production of any radio ever made. There were eleven color choices. The first redesign came in 1987 and was available in just red, blue and black. The last redesign hit in 1991 using an IC (no transistors at all) and came in red, blue, purple and black. The last flavoradio (blackberry) left the Radio Shack shelves in 2002 at $3.99. What posessed the 'shack' to continue with an am only radio is anybody's guess. (mac)
