happy to offer this working vintage 1957 very early Westinghouse Model H-611P5 5 transistor radio in classic mid century modern design and turquoise color! Serial number: B824672. Takes a special shaped 9 volt battery, but I tested it with a standard 9 volt battery, holding contacts together with my hand, and the radio plays, bu...t a a bit squeaky, depending on station and volume. ( 9 volt battery adapters are available on eBay.) Radio is very clean with no chips or cracks or other damage. Just some normal minor wear from normal light use. Measures about 6 inches long, 3 inches high and 1.5 inches deep. Believe these were the first transitor radios by Westinghouse!
