United 8.jpg (46163 bytes) United Royal 801-T 
Here's a very nice eight-transistor, United Royal model 801-T in mint condition. Cream front plastic, salmon-colored back, gold, anodized metal front. No chips or hairlines anywhere. Radio is clean as a whistle inside and out. Comes with it's original black leather case which is also pristine. Tiny 'pin point' on grill keeps the example from being perfect. Radio works but at low volume. Made in Japan. Says KDK-01 on back.

Fabulous example of the popular old Universal six-transistor radio. The plastic is in very good condition and so is the leather holder. There are two decals inside the box along with a pair of earphones, in a leather pouch. Made in Japan. Has CD markings. Plays well. Nice old box.

This Vintage AM coat pocket radio is in Very Nice Condition. Black, Seven transistors. This until takes a old Eveready 226, or Ray-O-Vac 1600. When temporarily hooked up a newer 9-Volt transistor battery it works. Great dial, especially the CD markings!

Windsor Green.jpg (44942 bytes) Windsor (Boys)  
Very pretty Windsor radio. Vibrant dark green with Gold, just beautiful, a must for any collection! It does have a thin crack on back cover and a crack on bottom right corner otherwise perfect, and very presentable! Photo does not do jade-like color justice. Made in Japan.
wpe1.gif (51744 bytes) Windsor Six Transistor Very cool, retro looking coat pocket radio. Great sound. The cabinet is free of chips and cracks. There are some light scratches on the right side caused by the leather case. A nice looking radio.

Just a wisp of a radio, this eight-transistor set was made in Hong Kong after Zenith realized it could no longer be price-competitive with US made products. It's in really nice shape complete with the wrist strap. Hong Kong. Uses hard to find large EN640 button batteries.
