My first employer, early 1966 to mid 1969. I delivered parcels for him by bicycle after school all round Wahroonga and parts of adjoining Sydney suburbs. This helped fund my railway adventures for a few years. Mostyn Carr, Redleaf Pharmacy, 1 Redleaf Ave Wahroonga NSW Australia, 1967. When the business closed the premises became a hot takeaway food shop. It was still that when I was last there in 2005.

A pocket personal portable AM (no FM at that time) radio which I built in a 36 exp slide box at the start of the 68/69 Christmas school holidays. It was originally built breadboard style with a valve-style tuning capacitor. The circuit has three transistors. The signal path flows from the ferrite rod to the first transistor for RF amplification with regeneration. A diode demodulates the signal which is sent back to the first transistor reflexed as the first AF stage. Two more transistors cascaded give more AF gain. A high impedance crystal earpiece couples the audio to the Listener. Performance was adequate for primary coverage areas. See Notes on 005.
