The new Mad Max DVD (which you can usually find for
like $10-15 now) has the original voice track on one
channel, and the dubbed one on the other. I grew up on
the dubbed version, so it was WAY cool to see the
original. I'm a sucker for apocalyptic fiction (and
non-fiction as well -- one of my favorites is "The
Atomic Bomb Movie," narrated by William Shatner)...

Anyway, I think the carbed folks on the list would
fare much better in that scenario, although I suppose
some of us with older radios in our Type 3's might
still have the radios at least? When did the
transistor become popular? Did any of the Type 3
radios have tubes in them?
