Looks same same to the transistor radio my girl friend was holding on her lap on a road trip to Spain back in 1972 in my Austin Mini .... Can't believe I did crazy things like that, how I ever fit into that midget and that we survived it with nothing more than a broken fan belt near Madrid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCCubano Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Blast from the past! I do recall in late 60s we had a larger Panasonic Transistor Radio. I still remember how it smelled! Perfect companion for Van Morrison " Brown Eyed Girl" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryK 54 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) What a great post. Recognize every one of those items. The transistor radio, bag phone and reel to reel tape deck really take me back! Edited July 13, 2021 by GaryK 54 Spell check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I still have a lot of those items. I recently found a Casio fx-100c calculator, 1980s Akai "boombox" (with removable speakers!), my first Walkman and Discman, plus many more from my childhood.

gorob23 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 With the Panasonic 9 you forgot the little ear piece. Used to wear along sleeve short and run the cord through the sleeve so I could listen to the baseball playoff game whenI was in grade school. With Bo you missed when she and I went dancing at the Disco 😎 Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
