This is one of the many radios my Gran had collected in her life, a Hacker Hunter.  She loved music with a passion and had a radio in every room! This is a British 1960’s take on a boom box………well not really, but it is loud, and the sound quality is great, warm and crisp, with an amount of bass that would show up most 80’s vintage mini’s. I can picture her now with this, feet up, listening to radio Three.

Hope you still have it Seb !!

Thanks deech, great music and a nice thought on your part. Yes, I still have the radio and still use it. It is one of three radios that I will never part with.

wow! flashback to early school days The whole class listening to BBC Radio for schools programmes on one of these old Hackers!

Your right, schools did have them, Gran was a teacher, so there is the conection.  Big powerfull sound, enough to fill a classroom! You've just jogged some memories there!

yeah! also T.Vs, and dirty big top loader VCRs were all strapped to trollies, wheeled into your class room and someone posh enough to own a video recorder at home would have to show the teacher how to work it!

Yeah, you've just described my childhood, although the VCR's didn't come along until I was about 12! And the teachers didn't have a clue how to use them and as you say it was always a posh kid who took control of the thing!  Wow complete memory unlock!!

hackers were a popular radio memory lane for sure
