I'm sure they aren't available any longer since RS got out of the consumer electronics business to focus on computers and home theater. |
I bought a couple of blue AM Flavoradios around 1990 - my mother still has one of them in a kitchen drawer for emergency info in case the power fails. Nothing special about them - the tuners were kinda stiff.
Radio Shack was still selling them in 1999 (last catalog I have) - a black AM model 12-201 for $6.95. That one took AA batteries - the older ones used a 9 volt. There's one on eBay right now - ad says it was made in the Phillipines.
