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. |

Universal white MIB
1962
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. |

Viscount 602
1960
Here is a very sharp little Viscount model 602 in red and white with gold
and silver trim. This set works and comes with its leather case. The Label
says VISCOUNT 6V V-I-P. A little bigger than the average pocket radio, but
nice. |
 |
Westinghouse H618P7 1957
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! |
 |
Westinghouse H-611-P5
1960
Another Eric Wrobbel score, and again, I have used his eBay photo of
this beauty. Doesn't work, but sure is pretty.

Coat pocket size, (if you have a coat with very big pockets),
cream and charcoal Westinghouse with kickstand. Made in Canada. Has CD
markings.

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.

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.

Zenith Royal 20
19??
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. |
