funny radios though......mine was always breaking ...fixed 2 times...still not working right.....but not as bad as a friend in the era before cell phones...when car service used 2-way radios & CBs...in the middle of the night the 301 speaker would broadcast everything....all night long.
Maybe 10 years ago I lived a block away from a Yellow Cab repair garage... That'll make you jump for sure! I can't remember if it was an old boom box or its replacement, a Blaupunkt tube radio, but that came through. Didn't happen often, and it was infrequent enough that the sudden burst of loud ET sounding noise coming out of a powered down unit made you jump out of your trousers...
