Nice radio tchotchke

Was wandering around a couple of Downtown SF Walgreens this evening, looking for a nice green tea diet powder supplement. Found this nice special on radio-pens, 2 for $5, and went ahead and pucrhased a pair. Each pen-radio comes with its default black ink-barrel, a replacement blue-ink barrel, a full set of radio batteries, an extra pair of radio batteries, and the volume-adjustable radio earbuds for listening to the radio. Most importantly of all (to me), once the batteries were inserted, the radio worked EXACTLY as described!!


TWIE FM Band Radio Writing Pen



Pretty impressive!


I'll probably use a high quality radio and more comfortable headphones when regularly commuting, but these pair of pen-radios are nice to use when it's fairly quiet around and I wish to listen to FM music for awhile -- w/in FM-radio reception areas, and not on Shabbos of course.

Wonder if it's possible to use a converter piece to 1/8" stereo input to allow powered amplified speakers to plug into this little pen-radio tchotchke?
