Item History & Price

Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan | Featured Refinements: Vintage Transistor Radio |
Modified Item: No |
This is a rare and beautifully designed early Japanese transistor radio made by CROWN. This is the model TR-800. It has a unique and beautifully designed reverse painted dial area, a beautiful turquoise color cabinet, and circular grille. This radio is all original with no modern circuit modifications or component replacements. This is a pretty nice radio with no chips but does have a profess...ionally repaired crack on one bottom corner and another hairline crack on the upper left corner and some paint flakes off the grille (see pics). I tested it and currently it is not working at all. Reception varies by time of day, geographical location, and distance from AM stations so it may be better or worse in your area. However, it is being sold as non-working. Consider it a bonus if it works. Please study the photographs closely to determine your own opinion of the condition as this is much better than me trying to describe it in words. If you have any questions please ask but try not to wait until near the end of the auction so that I can have ample time to reply. Thanks!
