You are, possibly, in luck.


That would make a change. ;-)

I’ve found one of the radios. No earphones but I don’t think from where it
was it was ever used.


Ok.

Drop me an Email and I’ll pop it in the post.


Thanks very much for your kind offer (for now at least) etc but 1)
I've ordered a basic FM radio kit (with manual tuning) so I'd like to
see how we get on with that first (and she might prefer (at least the
option of) a small speaker rather than headphones etc) and 2) are we
sure that the radio you have there a) will stay on a previously found
frequency after a power cycle and b) won't start scanning again, if it
looses signal for a bit? If it does either we will both be wasting our
time. ;-(

Email on my website g8osn.net

It is a bit bigger than a match box, takes a couple of AAA batteries and by
the looks of it a 3.5mm jack.


That sounds like what I had before (I think it was a Capital Radio
freebie).

Vol, control (rotary), scan and reset button.


Check.

The clip to clip to your coat etc is broken.

Ok.
