From eBay:
Works via the car’s 12v cigarette lighter adaptor

Gets great Sky TV reception – no need for any dodgy cards

No licence needed. Just press and speak.

Talk to real aliens! Meet Reggie and Vance from Mars and Luscious Vita from Venus.

Rotates 360 degrees. Point it down to the ground and you can hear Australians talking to their kangaroos!

Turn it upside down other way round and use it to collect rainwater for the garden.

Can be used as an outdoor cinema screen, apparently!

Stick it on the roof of your car and it doubles as a CB radio. (Please note; car roof may need reinforcement. Avoid low bridges and use responsibly).

Free “Death Ray Gun” gift with order! Kill anything with it! (subject to local laws relating to murder etc. AW cannot be held responsible etc)

Anybody interested in a joint purchase? :lol:

Very very sad. After just celebrating their 50th aniversary and all

I sure hope this great scientific instrument can be saved.
