Ron Buckwell's version of the "Ferrite Ferret."
Ron (G0MBV) is in Guisborough, on the Northeast coast of North Yorkshire in
England |
|
|
Beautiful modular design on a
printed circuit board. The battery is wrapped in a skin to emulate
an old Ever Ready battery.
Note: this is an Ever Ready, made by the Ever Ready company, not the
"Eveready" brand sold in the US made by Union Carbide.. |
|
|
|
It's a lovely radio (as they say in Guisborough). The
craftsmanship is outstanding. |
|

|
|
This is a portable version. It measures 6" x 4" x 1.2"
For some reason known only to most of the world, Ron claims it measures
150mm x 100mm x 30mm. |
|
|
I can almost hear it playing! |
|
|
|
Here's a version Ron made for his lass, Kerry. She
loves Yorkshire tea. |
(After several emails where
Ron mentioned "our lass," I finally had to ask him who "our lass"
actually is. It's his wife.) |
|
|
|
Yorkshire Tea is By Appointment to His Royal Highness
The Prince of Wales. I wonder if he knows about this radio. There
may be taxes owed. |

Model and serial numbers. (Holy smokes, he's made
1,500,001 of these things!) |
