This has got to be one of thenicer vintage radios that has come into my hands. It will bedifficult to replace. Any45 year old radio is bound to have some sign of use or age related deterioration, andany 40 year oldused radio is bound to havesome odd minor scuffs and marks but overall this radio is in remarkably good shape.

It is a delightful radio which reeks of quality, with top class materials, styling and performance, with fantastic tuning sensitivity accross 3 bands.

The radio is a very convenient portable size, but typical of Sony it packs tremendous performance, sound quality anddistictive designflairinto amoderately small package.

It offersoutstanding tuning capability accross 3 bands MW/FM (from 88 to 108) and Shortwave You will find manystations on the principalbands given this radio will pick up stations many a lesser set will struggle to find.

This rare example is in very condition. I am providing a good range of photos so you can see for yourself the condition, originality and completeness of this radio. It is over45 years old and is bound to have some signs of use, yet as the pictures show nothing of any real note beyond a few minor scuffs and scrapes.

However the aerial has been sympathetically replaced and the retaining clip is broken (see photo) which does not affect its operation.

The radio runs from3 xC cells (not supplied) or via a suitable4.5 AC mains adapter (not supplied) connected via the socket provided.

I offer a suitable mains adapter in my separate listing:

PLEASE ENQUIRE FOR A COMBINED PRICE IF YOU WANT TO CONSIDER THE RADIO & ADAPTER AS A JOINT PURCHASE.

You can hear the radio playing on youtube and see that it is insuperb working order, with all the controls working smoothly and progressively. Tone is adjusted via rotar control. The dial light, VU meter, and AFC switch are all working.

Here is a very rare chance to get a very fine example of this very rare highly desirable45 plus year old Sony.

This is aperfect example for a collector, or for any buyer who wants a nice highly portable transistor, combined with the style that only a vintage set can provide, and the performance of one of Sony\'s finest 3 band compact portable list on a \"BUYITNOW\" basis. I amunconvinced that salesare a good buying experience.

You are obliged to \"watch\" something you want to buy for up to 10 days. Then, to stand a chance ofwinning youoften have to set a date to be at your computer to enter a last minute offerding lottery, usually at an inconvenient time.

You end either dissapointed or concerned you have paid too much! Surely life is too short.

If you see something you like, and are happy with the price you should be able to secure it immediately.

No fuss. No majority of vintage radios for sale on are verypoorly listed , sometimes deliberately. You have little chance of knowing exactly what you are buying from a single out of focus photo, and a brief description usually saying something like \"untested as I dont have a battery\". This will usually mean the bargain buy radio you end getting does not work and may be cosmetically challenged. In short it becomes an expensive mistake that niether looks or sounds \"right\".

It is possible that you will find examples of this radio apparentlyselling for lessin some sales. But with this radio you know exactly what you are going to get. I have provided a comprehensive range of good clear photos, and a detailed accurate description. The radio will have been cleaned and fully checked before despatch.I offer a full refund in the event the radio does not match the description.

The price of the radio is set at a level in relation to sale prices of similar radios in similar codition where possible. Vintage radios that work and that are in good condition offer tremendous value for money. They are collectible, useable, and enjoyable, may well hold or increase in value, and available at a fraction of the cost of a new radio.
