NEC NT620

It is a delightful, horizontal, six-transistor, slim shirt pocket radio from Japan. A strikingly simple design with a big '6' on the face. Made in Japan by Nippon Electric Company Ltd. (NEC). There are two small chips missing from the back. It is in otherwise excellent condition and works. Strangely, the dial does not have the markers for the civil defense stations you would expect  to see.

This very cool Panasonic transistor radio is in great condition. It's still in working order, and what a bonus to get it with the original box. The box shows all of the Panapets that were available at the time. Very popular, despite the fact that it is younger than most collectibles.

This is a wonderful old, working Philco in terrific condition. Understated style and charm. Nice sound. Has CD markings. Clean. Tan front, black, metal, easy-to-open back cover. Looks like it might have been hand-wired.

A very stylish peach and tan Philco! It is very clean inside and out, has no chips or cracks, just normal surface wear. Radio works very well. Top handle swivels, and is also the antenna. Nice gold coil ribbing along the dial and along the bottom.

Well, okay, it's not the world's smallest radio, but that's what the box says.  It also boasts that the radio is "germaium operated," which is French--er I mean Japanese for a crystal set. Nice early sixties radio with some "wire marks" created by prior owners wrapping the earphone and antenna wires around the plastic case. Don't do that! By the way, that's a fake speaker grill, since this is an earphone-only toy.
