Dan Dare radio

[SimonC]

I was looking round an antique store today and came across this toy from the 50s, a dan dare interplanetary communicator! I thought it might appeal to some of you guys here. it basically allows you to send morse code over half a mile to the receiver, pretty sweet really and would probably be handy in the event of an apocalypse.

I had one when i was a nipper, then 25 years later got my radio ham licence and still do morse code today,but a bit further around the world from USA to Australia
