I remember when I was working in the 70’s I bought my dad a red ball panasonic radio and myself a blue one. He loved that radio and I wish I had both of them. Don’t know what happened to them.
I had a bright yellow Toot-A-Loop. Loved that radio. Went everywhere with me on the handle of my bike.
Me too, I was the shizzlie de nizzle with that yellow Toot-a-Loop AM radio hanging on my handlebars of a royal blue with a white banana seat Schwinn Stingray – I rode with my own soundtrack all over town. LoL Good times.
