It appears that you did not read my original post in it's entirety. I had already suggested that any photos posted to this thread should be with the permission of the Original Poster. I think this clearly indicates that I am aware it is not my thread. Actually, I could care less whether or not anyone posts an image of what I may have owned.

Secondly, I never see the need for a Private Message. Personally, I have nothing to say that I feel needs to be hidden.

Haha.. I can understand why you blocked me.

I tried to send you a PM of the radio out of courtesy of not posting it on the thread.

Have a great day.

If anyone wants to post an image, go right ahead, I'd love to see it.
I collect these little 50's/60's radios and have about 350 on display.
The first one was on the market in late 1954 and was a product of two companies, Texas Instruments and Ideal in Indianapolis.

Mine was a little later, the early 70s. It looked like a round ball.

WOW. Cool!
I had a crystal radio too. I think it maybe only got KYW in Philly as it was the strongest station in the area.
