Juliette

Next is a Juliette AK-6. It's AM and 9 volts. Still has the original box, instructions, earphone, and plastic carrying case. Fresh battery and plays fine!

Electra

This one is an Electra 8-Transistor Deluxe. There's no obvious model number. Still has the box, instructions, earphone and earphone case, and leather radio case. It even had the moisture-absorbing packet in the box... not paper, but a fabric packet that was sewn and stapled together! There is an old-style price tag sticker with 8 dollars on it. Put a new 9V in it, and it played just fine.

The little diamond shape at the top right is a window with a magnifying lens to view the station number on the thumbwheel.

Hi-Bunsonic

The last one isn't quite as vintage... this is likely from the 80's. But, it's small and kinda cute. It's branded Hi-Bunsonic, has AM/FM, and a LCD digital clock with alarm feature. There's a little antenna on the back for the FM. Runs on two AA batteries. It appears one battery is for the radio and the other is for the clock. I'd guess this to be a small travel clock radio. I'm willing to be it might have been some kind of "free gift" that someone got from ordering something on TV. Fresh batteries, and it plays fine.

A big thanks to OMI for these babies!

That looks just like my first radio, except mine was black. Mine was "AITC" brand, and it cost US$2.69 at a local discount store in our neighborhood. I got it for my 11th birthday in 1971.
