A 2-band MW/LW 5-transistor coat pocket radio. I'm a bit surprised by the accolades I've seen on the Web for this radio: I think it's a nice radio -- not bad, not great, just okay -- there are many other European transistor radios nicer than this set. (One collector on Flickr stated that the cabinet is nylon -- I did a solvent test, and it's not nylon. I think it's ABS, like most other transistor radio cabinets.)
