Things You Can't Buy Now: Transistor Radio

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you can't buy a transistor radio anymore. I haven't done any market research at Radio Shack to confirm it. I do know the older ones sell for a pretty penny on Ebay. Whether nostalgia drives up the price or the transistor radios are now collectors' items, I can't really say. I owned one I listened to at work that finally bit the dust somewhere along about the mid-1980s. The other transistor radios I owned over the years didn't seem to last all that long. Sort of like the Ford Pintos and Escorts which I also owned and drove and cursed when they broke down. But I digress. Portable music made live go better. I used to catch the ballgames on my transistor radio, too. If you still have a transistor radio, I hope you can also listen to it.
