Along about 1960, I was 12 years old and got a new 8 transistor radio for Christmas. It cost about $30 which was pretty big bucks back then. I can't remember the brand name, but it may have been an RCA. It was my pride and joy for a few months, until I knocked it into the toilet as I was getting ready for school one morning. It did not hold up well to immersion and never worked afterward. Never got a replacement.
