This
bakelite
beauty is an American import; uses the two-pin plug and 110 volt adaptor. Bakelite and coloured plastic radios are
interesting, often experimental style statements of their time and you’ll
always find one you like. Anything early imported with FM is worth buying. You can still buy valves new, N.O.S or S.H.
This one sounds especially crisp – a nice conversation starter, or just let it
tell you what’s going on in the world – it’s been doing it a long time.
Purchased: $90 (Retail) Adaptor kit, $80.
