Vintage Crown "Super 9" (Tr-999) Pocket Transistor Radio, Stunning beauty.... Some of my favorite radios from the golden era (1958-1963) of Japanese Transistor radios are the Crown brand imported by Shriro Trading Company. I will be offering several of these beauties. I also believe these Crowns are up there as a pinacle of reversed painted 1950s design beauty. Mostly sold in Jewelry Stores, I saw a advertisement for this radio for $49.99 (1961). In today'...s money, that is around $400!
This radio has no cracks or chips. very minor surface abrasion on back. Does not work. I believe this is due to the 2 AA battery pack that seems to plague this design. I never got around to investigating further.
Good luck, and watch for many more beauties coming.
