Get 'em while they're even available.]
OK...maybe I'm over-reacting...but: I was stunned tonight to go in a
super Walmart near a big city and the lady in electronics told me
they nolonger carry portable, walkman-sized radios. None. Zip.
And, the Radio Shack in the same area had one little, $39.95 Grundig
small multi-band radio.
No Sony's. No Sangean's. No nothings.
Me...I'm gonna buy another SRF-59 just to stock up. I still have my
original one that won't tune below 640 without scratchy noises (that
part that's known to be bad in the earlier models), and the current
one I use all the time.
So, because we live in an iPod/MP3 world...perhaps we ultraligh
lovers should take heed and buy one or two of our favorite
inexpensive radios while they're available.
Good listening to all.
