I enjoyed your transistor radio memories, Katie. Mine was black like Lee described---it had a black case with a handle and perforations in front of where the speaker was so you could hear it. It also had an earplug which came in handy sometimes. Did yours have to be positioned "just right" for the stations to come in clearly? Let me tell you---that was an absolutely prized possession to me back then. I used it for years -- I think it's around here somewhere. I need to find it and see if it still works!  :P

Oh I remember those things now!  :D  (I looked them up on the Internet)

Mine looked something like this....




I sometimes taped it to the handlebars of my bicycle, and I thought I was really cool!  8)

I also attached a playing card with a clothespin to the wheels of my bicycle so it made a "motor" sound as it flicked across the spokes. Anyone else do that?  :D
