Warning! Warning! Warning! Even tube portables can become addictive.

Lots of collectors don't care for them because of the battery availability problem, but fabricating suitable battery packs can be fun too.

Mine is a repaint, as it was really badly scratched up. Krylon "Antique White", I think. Looks ok, but not as good as factory paint.
