  • Notes
  • Dials are set inside the case with fully exposed faces.  "Volume" and "Tuning" on the dial faces rather than below the dial on the radio face, as typically found on this style of radio.  Came with a thin, leather carrying case.

    "Fallout" or factory reject transistors found in this radio: transistors have paper labels on them.  Fallout transistors were very cheaply bought in bulk and repurposed into cheaply sold transistor radios.

    Made in Hong Kong
