Retekess TR605 Multiband Radio Build-up!
Its time for another play with a radio, but rather than the usual tear-down I have decided to flip things on their head and do a build-up! While its hard to vouch for its credentials on the SW and MW bands (I really don't listen to them that much) the FM works well enough, even if it does need a light touch.
Amazon has these:
USA: https://amzn.to/2IG33hf

Retekess are offering a 10% discount - the code is M4UVYNG9

AKAI Tape Player
Wow, I did not expect to find an old school tape player in ASDA, Not only that its the type that should work with your retro computers!
Seems like a reasonable investment at £18 although time will tell if I can convince it to work with any of my computers, I need to wait for the various wires to arrive and the ZX Spectrum I was intending to use to test it out was stone cold broken :(

TDL- Desk Sortout
I am all about the tidying out and sorting at the moment. This energy has come from all the pent up aggression generated from bumping into things all the time and having piles of stuff fall on the floor.

PP9 Battery Teardown
I cant quite remember what used PP9 batteries, but as a kid they definitely seemed to be a popular thing, maybe I am confusing them with another similar battery, I feel there was a battery which had spring contacts on the top?
