I'm referring to the time when most homes had electricity. Portable, battery only radios were made until about 1956.
Three way portables were only about $5 to $8 dollars more and you can use them all year.  |
In my case, it was for safety... as a kid, I was always taking my radio into the bathroom, a battery only set with no cord was much safer. “B” batteries were great xmas and birthday gifts
