WOWWOW. an electrostat tweeter in a vintage radio. how wierd. Anyways, if the radio doesn't work, I'm going to go out and get him something at hastings last minute. Or maybe buy him a subscription to Suicide Girls :p.
Right before I discovered that the radio I'm getting may have a phono jack, I made another post wondering about taking my vinyl portable. Congruous? I might have to get a second TT to leave at mom's and one of those old radios.
I'm also hoping that if it turns out to be AM only (made in 55 it seems, so FM isn't seeming too likely) that he will at least be able to get some good stations as he lives in Seattle.
