Corvette Radio.

A buddy gave me this radio yesterday.
CorVette Six Transistor AM radio from the early Sixties.
Coolest thing I've seen in a while.
Works great, c/w leather case.
I don't think it is an AC/DELCO or DELPHI production item. LOL.

Hey Doug..
I think this is pre 'Groovy'...
I believe it is 'Neato-Keen'

Doug is just a young lad and this would be before his time. My one brother in law had the first transistor radio that I had ever seen and that was in the late fifties or early sixties. It may have been a Sony. Your radio would be great to have. I've never seen one myself. Neato-Keen for sure.

THAT is a cool item, it would make a great decoration on my bar.

That really takes me back, I can remember the "who has the most transistors in their radio" conversations my friends and I got into. Great find!

What's the playlist? Does it connect to your phone? Wifi? Cell Signal? Is it Bluethooth? How do you get it to make music without a computer around???

Lucky you Graham. Very nostalgic for we more 'mature' group.

I bet it takes several D or C size batts.

Colin..
It's quite small... The size of your hand.
It takes 4 x AA batteries.
You are correct it is most remembered by the 'mature'...

Riley... No bluetooth...lol...
It's almost impossible to find a 'mono' earphone these days.

Bill. It was a great find... I'm lucky my buddy saved it for me.
