Well now strange as it might sound my very first wireless was made not from card but from a block of wood! I received it from my father in about 1946 because toys were in such short supply after the war. I used to call it my "Wingle Wangle Wireless" although I have no idea why! Everyone remembered this and didn't spare my blushes as they reported it. I was 25 at the time! Now I'm grateful that it sparked my imagination. I could invent my own wireless programmes and even be in them. Sometimes I would present record selections using old 78's on a wind-up gramophone. At other times I was my own Dick Barton Special Agent climbing all over things to get my quarry. I wrote all the scripts and did all my own sound effects. Since the radio needed no power it may still be working somewhere. Let's see if we can hear it.
