  • Notes

  • Packard Bell AM Table top portable Radio Model AR851 (8RT2).
    Was used in Gilligan's Island Television program.

    This model, without CD marks, was produced later than the similar model with them.

    Note: The 8RT2 model number is verified by warranty documentation on one model.  There are no current models that verify the AR851 model number, and this appears to be based on references from the Gilligan's Island TV show.

    Very similar to Aiwa AR851.

    Made in Japan
