This early transistor portable radio, has all its original guarantee card and repair/service receipts from 1964 & 1966.
The radio was first produced by E.K.Cole Ltd in 1960 and costing £10 6s 8d plus tax, so was quite expensive, but allowing the owner to have a small portable radio of only 8 inches width. The circuit uses the OC range of transistors and now with the standard 470 Khz I.F frequency. It offer's tuneable Medium wave and fixed Long wave reception. The radio is in overall good condition with only wear to the EKCO label on the front case. The radio has had all the de-coupling components replaced including all the electrolitic capacitors as well. Often when a radio in this case 55 years old age related issues start to show. The radio works very well and very selective to the positioning of the Ferrite aerial. The radio originally would have had a PP4 9.0Volt battery this has been replaced to fit the standard PP3 today.
The radio comes complete with its original presentation box, see photo's as well as original documentation and service history and 1 years guarantee.
