HBC Dictator followed me home...
#1

I was visiting my best friend last night after playing hockey...and just before I left to head home, he lifted up a box, and said "You can have whatever is in this box for $140". I laughed and he said it was the Dictator 355 radio he had bought from a lady in British Columbia, and it arrived weeks ago, and he hadn't even opened the box! I had expressed great interest in it when he said he bought it, since I collect Grimes/Dominion Electrohome sets (along with Philcos  Icon_lol  ) and I had never seen this model before! He said it would end up hiding on the back of his storage room, so I took it home. Icon_smile
