Wireless/transistor radios


Recommended Posts

its about 8x5 in size.....

8x5 inch was a medium size for a sixties transistor radio too big for the pocket but not big enough to hold by a handle.The most popular were small, usually only medium wave,models that would fit in the back pocket of your jeans.In the sixties pirate radio was the big thing but reception in Sheffield was a bit hit and miss,up in graves park you could get Radio North Sea International but generally after dark you were constantly having to re-tune.Its worth about a fiver if it still works .
