My radio from 1972, an RGD Olympic. When I was at university I lived in student halls and would often walk past this charity shop. It seemed to be open about one afternoon a week so stuff would sit in the window for quite a while.

I paid £6 and didn't use it all that much but these days I use it most days. It's bizarrely loud and has a huge power button, making it very satisfying to turn on.

  • My kitchen radio is a Philips Andante, and I love it, and to cook while blasting tunes with it. It sounds great and has good reception (and I have a bluetooth dongle as well).

    I originally had a trash picked one as a teenager that I had fixed up, but it died again a few years later, and I couldn't figure out why. I was so happy when I ran across another one online, got it for about 20€, and fixed it up as well. It's in better shape than my first one, and I actually know what I'm doing now, electronics wise.
