1957 Bulova 620 "Comet"

3"H x 6"W x 1 1/2"D

One of the classic '50s transistor radio designs. Bulova's own name, "Comet" describes the cabinet face well enough, and "parabola" would be the only term more accurate in description -- but somehow the '50s word "boomerang" has erroneously become stuck to this radio, and no matter how hard the Bulova Comet rejects the term, it just keeps coming back...

Other cabinet colors included: ivory body with black grill, red body with black grill, and the 720 model red body with ivory grill.
