Did you have a 6 transistor or a 10 transistor radio?

I asked my 22 year old son if he knew what the three little round plastic things were for. He thought maybe they were IUDs.

Record collectors cringe when they see them (especially the metal ones) since they damage the records.

I bought a 6-transistor radio in 1958 for $19.95. Still have it, and it still works. Many of those 10 or 12 transistor radios had transistors in them that weren't even connected into the circuit. They were there just for the advertising value.

Ha, I wish! My first radio had 2 transistors. I still have it. My buddy’s radio had 6 and could pull in more stations.

Hey, dual use technology, wouldn’t that have been sly?

(This is assuming you meant the 45rpm adapters, not the hula-hoops.)
