Another word some munge when listing items: transistor

You'll see it as transister, transitor, transisture, and many other misspellings. I used it to my advantage while snatching up transistor radios back in the early fleabay days. I got a "Zenit Transitor Stero" (sic) that way. It was a Zenith Royal 3000 in prime shape, got it for 7 bucks.

Philco with two l's, RCA Victer, Silvania, Generel Electric, and Comodore are all brands I picked up that way. I passed on the Reelistic and Chinnese stuff.

Cheers,
