	Who needs a radio??  The RPI X-Ray crystalography (sp) lab's PDP-8
serial #175 just ran the output of a Dec flip-chip pulse amplifier to a
speaker on top of the cabinet.  There were several large decks of music
floating around for it.  And I'm sure the RF would work too (it did on
my TRS-80 Mod 1 - you also could watch it's screen on the TV next to it!)
