View Full Version : Another Radio shack first...... blue_lateral 02-14-2006, 03:10 PM I BELIEVE THIS RADIO IS ONE OF THE FIRST TO COME OUT WITH A CASSETTE PLAYER ON THE SIDE (SEE PICTURE). :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-Rare-Bakelite-Radio-Shack-RADIO-Mdl-12-696_W0QQitemZ6605545286QQcategoryZ38035QQrdZ1QQcmd ZViewItem John Sandy G 02-14-2006, 03:23 PM Oh, Prunella...Reckon we oughta send this Rocket Scientist an e-mail telling him cassettes weren't invented til '64, & no, this raydio ISN'T from 1950...LOL...-Sandy G. Ultra-Hog 02-14-2006, 03:46 PM THAT'S funny!!! I am 'watching' it to see if he gets any bids. Would ya' think that maybe the paper label on the back and the polarized plug might have given him a clue? :scratch2: Let the buyer beware! Midnight Blues 02-14-2006, 03:49 PM That poor ebayer may be off the track a little but now that I think about it when did that flyin saucer crash in Roswell? That tape player might just have been advanced allien technology available only at Radio Shack.... :smoke: Celt 02-14-2006, 03:59 PM Plus it has Rat Shack's '90's logo on it in huge letters...AND...it's still a current Crosley model! :rolleyes: sump pump 02-14-2006, 04:40 PM :headscrat that is too funny Celt 02-14-2006, 04:52 PM I'm sure the idiot doesn't realize that integrated circuit, Chinese radios weren't a common thing in the fifties and sixties too... Markw 02-14-2006, 04:52 PM Well, since cassettes were only starting to become available, in their most primitive pre-audiophile state, in the early 70's, I belive this guy is either a fargin icehole or a blatent liar. ...neither of which I would consider too a flattering statement. wait... late breaking news... another quote. "THE TUBES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AND IT STILL WORK GREAT." I'd like to know how he tested them. Did he look to see if they glowed? (I know, it's solid state.) Now I'd say he's BOTH of what I called him earlier. retrokeeper 02-14-2006, 06:41 PM I second the "fargin icehole" comment..... :yes: :scratch2: Rob Celt 02-14-2006, 08:04 PM Well, looky here! I e-mailed the seller and educated them about the radio they were selling and they replied back... "You are absolutely right, took back off radio and it is not a tube. The radio did belong to my great aunt who passed away, and my brother-in-law said it was a tube radio, bakelite. Why didn't I research it a little better? Thank you for brining to my attention. I will correct." Markw 02-15-2006, 05:31 AM Well, looky here! I e-mailed the seller and educated them about the radio they were selling and they replied back... "You are absolutely right, took back off radio and it is not a tube. The radio did belong to my great aunt who passed away, and my brother-in-law said it was a tube radio, bakelite. Why didn't I research it a little better? Thank you for brining to my attention. I will correct."He was willing to admit and correct his mistakes. Ignorance is not a sin and can be corrected and it was. I take back that fargin icehole statement. retrokeeper 02-15-2006, 08:38 AM I also retract my "follow-up to what he said" comment on a fargin' icehole!! :banana: :yes: Rob |
