The radio had 5 buttons for presets, each had a letter on it --B-U-I-C-K. Pushing the button (which wan't easy) made the slider scoot up or down the dial.<BR/><BR/>I also remember paying 68 cents a gallon to fill my car with regular gas when I was at Penn State.<BR/><BR/>Ahhh, the good ole days!

If you got the tuning knob in the exact right position, you would get the scrambles out.
