[TenTec] Power Mite Odyssey

[Winston F. Jones]

Gee!! I might fudge a little on the broadcast receiver at that price. I
remember the Conalrad requirement, but not sure what I used to fulfill it. I
think I had an old 5-tube table model Crosley sitting nearby. I guess
there's lots of them still around in people's attics.
