Hmm, gonna have to keep an eye out for an Aqua one now as well. I agree about the battery life in early transistor radios. I think people were just happy to have batteries that lasted longer than in the tube portables to begin with. It seems Zenith really hit the nail on the head with their designs. The Royal 500 series not only used a dead common and relatively inexpensive battery (the AA), but they also seem to run a rather long time on a set. I'll have to see if anyone makes rechargeable 9 volt batteries anymore. I looked at the Lithium ones and at $10 a pop, no way!
No matter where you go, there you are.
