Remember those old speaker tubes for your transistor radio?

Pringle's is giving away an amplified speaker in their latest promotion.
May 15th to October 31st, 2012. See here:

It appears to be a self-contained amplified speaker which runs on 3 AAA cells.
Probably has an LM386 inside. Batteries included, (according to some YouTube videos).

No affiliation... just thought folks here could use a free piece of test gear. 8)

Guess what came in the mail today??? - A shiny new Pringles Speaker.
Took less than five weeks to arrive and sounds really great! Batteries included.

I'm going to try to get two of them. Stereo, after all.That will require some rework. But having a brother that lives right next door does have some advantages. :)It's a short walk for my mail box to his.

Last reply resulted in an "Internal Server Error". Got the second speaker Saturday, performed the surgery last night so that each on receives one channel only. Add one 'Y' connector and "Bob's Yer Uncle". For what they are, they work rather well.Just the thing for a lap top or notebook PC with gutless audio. :)
