No kiddin', Tom.... Wished I had been one of these l'il guys in a roomful of pretty girls back before I got married.... I've got more Ooohs & Ahhs & Oh, how CUUUUUUUTES over these l'il fellers than any other toys I've bothered to show off to other folks.... And dammittall, they ARE cuter than Bugs' Ears. Funny thing, too-How I think ALL of 'em have worked straight out of the box-And, Lord knows what kind of lives they led B4 I got 'em. Virtually ALL of my more Sophisticated radios have had to have extensive, expensive surgery before any of them would so much as toot. Maybe these guys are kinda like Porta-Potty TVs-Ever know of one of THEM that didn't work ? Nasty, cheap, too full of tubes-But Nobody ever told one of them they were cheap shit junque-so they just soldiered on & on like they had Good Sense... My Dad got one of the 1st Porta-Colors in NE Tennessee in late 1965 or early '66, it was on from then, often 18 hrs a day, 7 days a week, til like 1973 or so when he got a 17" Trinitron.
