Ahh. Nice homage to Sony, eh? This is a great, red, very collectable 2 -transistor 'Boy's' radio. Has a big speaker with a tuner on the right and a volume on the left. Includes a vinyl case. Sounds better than many six-transistor sets!

Minimalist looking, salmon-colored, horizontal Hitachi pocket radio. Has jacks for external antenna and earphone. Small size, about 4 1/2 by 2 3/4 inches. (An unusual, horizontal shirt pocket format) Very pretty.

This is a powder blue Hitachi, model TH-667. It is a six-transistor, rather large, horizontal coat pocket radio. Works beautifully. Strong sound.  Made in Japan. Has CD markings.

Nice looking Hitachi TH-627R, cream, six-transistor shirt pocket transistor radio. (The 'h' logo is upside down!) Factory flaw, or careless restoration? We will never know. No cracks or chips. Tuner dial has CD marks. Made in Japan.

Wonderful, forty-year-old Hitachi pocket radio. Red/gray w/white grill. It has 2 repaired corner chips at bottom, (they don't show when radio is standing), otherwise the case is in great shape-Radio has been electrically restored & is clean inside. Has speaker box, shipping box, paperwork, and earphone with pouch.

A closer look at the TH666 sans big speaker. Nice gray back. One of my favorite radios.
