He'd been doing that since the 1960's with classy-looking miniature amplifiers and impossibly small pocket radios. I remember as a young kid drooling over the Sinclair Micro-6 advertised in the late 60s UK 'Practical Electronics' magazines my dad collected. I had absolutely no idea how much "59/6" was, in Australian dollars, but I was sure it was way more than all the pocket money savings I had. And how would I go about ordering something from the other side of the world, even if I could afford it. Steve.
