That still looks quality to me even now!

Edit: Short wave and all, so you can listen to those spooky signal/numbers stations at night! That used to fascinate me as a kid (actually still does).

Ohhhhh you had a flash new age portable..... This was our portable, trouble is, it only ran on mains power so we could only go as far as the mains lead would allow, and the speakers were separate too. Got a bit heavy after a while.

My mum still has it. Will probably be passed down to my brother at some stage.

Know the area mate.

My old stomping ground was lalor. Parents still live there.
Egders rd was two way traffic, finished at child's rd, then there was the dirt road to high street. The whole of Epping plaza and the hospital use to be a Scocer ground for the wogs and the Aussies had the bmx and motorbike tracks.

Ahh, those were the days.

Betcha it's still higher quality than the Chinese crap made today. No exclamation I'm serious. !

40 years ago I was 21 & on the verge of committing to a career after several years of occasional casual work, travel & lots of fun. I recall struggling to imagine working in a job for more than a few months maximum, but jobs which had been easy to get we’re becoming more difficult to find.

Camped at our Ski Beach on the Hawkesbury River near Windsor, Skiing and Drinking with the odd break for food and/or sleep. Skiing in the summer, fished in the winter, fixed C130 Hercules during the break between weekends.
