A late 60s pocket radio called Internet Satellite.

A late 60s pocket radio called Internet Satellite.

So several years before the term Internet was coined for a network of interconnected computer networks in the mid 70s. Several years earlier a small company in Beckenham Kent sold cheapo Hong Kong made pocket radios.
They called themselves Internet.
Here is one I bought today with box.

SJ and her partner stayed last night. We have been on a Mackenzie Crook-core trip on Spotify trip all morning after long conversations about Small Prophets over an extended breakfast.
Then it threw up Nights in white satin so we have switched to Vinyl and side 2 of this masterpiece is currently on
