A really cool looking radio. The dark leather case matches very well with the tuning knob color. Not sure this radio would"ve outperformed the competition with it's only 6 transistors. However the battery compartment indea is genius, providing the option of using either 6 AA batteries or a 9V block battery. Thank you so much for this educative demonstration. My favorite Sunday evening show by far.
This radio was only ever meant for 6 volts. It's an unfortunate issue of using this style of plastic battery holder that it connects to the radio with a typical 9 volt style plug. I have a 1960's Toshiba radio using the same setup.
