In 1958, Buddy Holly came out of radios like these. This retro version of the first transistor radios measures 4-1/4" x 2-1/2" x 1" in dark blue with a wire handle that doubles as an antenna. AM works better than the FM, but who listened to FM in 1958? Plenty loud (guaranteed to not fade away) with classic thumb-wheel tuning and volume. You add a pair of “AAA” batteries. To make things even more like 1958, carry the radio in your shirt pocket.

Don't toss it and buy a universal remote. (How many things are really universal, after all?) Try this jar of Keypad Fix, designed to clean and restore conductivity to the carbon on the keys and the copper PC board pads that make up the rubber-coated switches on remotes, game controllers, and security keypads. Contains enough to coat over 200 button contacts.

Did you know that 43% of all wireless ear buds are dropped someplace where you have to get help from angry subway employees to retrieve them? The other 57% are dropped where you'll never see them again. The answer to this problem? Wires. Like the 40” black wire (call it a cord) that comes attached to these stereo ear buds. Include a covered case that the cord wraps around, and (3) sets of silicone covers in small (white), medium (blue), and large (black) to fit your own personal earholes.

Not sure if they will work with today's TV's but all you need is cabling to connect them and give it a try. Made in Brazil, the antenna capital of South America, probably.
