The Design

This radio has some quite special features, like a ferrite antenna that can be rotated with a control knob on front. It has four speakers, including one treble tweeter whose sound is fed to the side panels through metal pipes.

To make servicing easier, the connections between the elements fixed in the cabinet (speaker, tone control buttons) and the chassis run through an eight-pin plug. This allows to pull the chassis without soldering.

This Object

Since I put this beautiful machine on the Web, back in 1995, I received various requests to sell it. Radios of this size cannot be sold to everywhere, because in most countries the limits on the size of postal packets is way too low. Only in Singapore the size limit was higher, and that is where the radio found its next home.
