Selling for a collector who is downsizing his collection:
A vintage Silvertone 6 Transistor Radio - Model # 1203 - Mint green, silver and gold plastic case. The radio comes with a split grain cowhide leather carrying case that may or may not be original.
Made in the United States. circa 1960-1963. Sold by Sears Roebuck Co.
The outer plastic case is mint green. It has a silver perforated metal grill front with gold trim around the bottom and right side of the grill. The logo is also gold tone. The radio has a thumb wheel knob on each side for tuning and on/off and volume.
Batteries are not included.
Handheld - Approximate measurements of radio: 2 1/2 inches across x 4 inches high x 1 1/4 inches deep.
This radio works - you can tune in and hear stations, but there's a lot of static.
Although I describe several imperfections I see, the radio is in acceptable to fairly good condition and holds nostalgic value for some collectors.
The back screw to the case is missing. The plastic case is in fairly good condition. There are rough edges at the bottom of the case where the front and back meet, especially at the indentation opening. The case has some faint scratches, scuffs, and rubbed marks. The back has a .75 inch circle of discoloration. The grill is slightly indented in the middle. The outside of the genuine leather carrying case is in good condition. It has numbers written in permanent marker on the back. The red lining inside is disintegration. Batteries are not included. Please see photos.
