transistor radios & earphones
I was thinking of something today as I was listening to my Walkman with a pair of earbuds..
Who else besides me is old enough to remember pocket transistor radios and earphones? |

I had a small transistor radio with a pull-up antenna that came with one earbud. It came with a strap that I would hang on my bicycle handlebar. It was similar to this one only mine was more silver than black.

I had a couple of those from Radio Shack as a kid that really didn't last very long. They just died so easily, even with fresh batteries, which I think is sad.
