  I find Working on these little guys relaxing even though it requires a lot of patience, concentration and discipline. That&apos;s a unique one with the battery in the middle. Appreciate the mention from the master himself!

  Wow that brings back memories while riding the school bus to High School back in the early &apos;60s when the transistor was the coolest thing! Senior student, Gary, had just put together a 6 transistor radio from a kit to listen to on the way to school. I was really impressed! At the same time, I was into Ham Radio with all the big heavy stuff to homebrew. Gary later entered the NY State Science Fair that year and won first prize for building a bulky computer with wood dials etc. I built a Tesla Coil from old TV parts, cardboard tubing, and a Model T spark coil. At least I made Honorable mention haha.

  I &nbsp;am reminded of the late John Prine who said of these little transistor radios, that, &quot;They only made 60 million of them and I was lucky enough to get one.&quot;

  Shango&apos;s channel is fun, he revives so real basket cases with whatever works, he&apos;s really good at finding the problems. It&apos;s guy&apos;s like you that make YouTube.

  Now that is what I call a “transistor radio”! With faux leather case, classic thumb dial tuner and just enough space &nbsp;inside to fit a 9 volt battery. 👌

  As &nbsp;child in the 60&apos;s I had a transistor radio and would tune in the Grand Ol&apos; Opry from Nashville on Saturday nights and put the radio under my pillow and drift off to dream with the crackling sweet sounds of the radio waves.

  That little schematic is a reminiscence od something that we once had and we&apos;ve lost it - a right to repair.

  The thumbnail made this look almost like a communicator from original Star Trek.

  When initially pulled from the case, it reminded me of the old Star Trek communicator.
