Just a wild-ass thought..why not get her one of them late '50s-early '60s Zenith AM/FM tube sets? My gran had one, it was sensitive enuff to pull in Black Mountain/Asheville, NC here-about 75 miles. Yeah, you can put an external antenna on 'em, & I think they made about 3 jillion of 'em in all different varieties. Get one for 25 bux, have the caps replaced for another 25 or so, & you're all set. Plus, you/she'll have something that's going up in value-OK you won't be able to retire off it, but at least it won't be valueless in a few years. Like I said, just a thought. Prolly a bad one, but that's just me...<grin>-Sandy G.
