Love the look of this radio.
It's a RCA Victor, Globe Trotter, 8 transistor, model 3-RG-81. Takes 4 C batteries.
It's in great shape, but so far I can't get any sound out of it. I think the battery contacts need cleaning or one is not making contact. I'll tinker with it.
Anybody familiar with this radio ?? Early 60's ?

When I was growing as a kid in the late 60s, my mother had this radio so that she could listen to the local radio station's music. The radio had a black leather carrying case with a small black leather strap. I can remember playing the radio as I put plastic models together. .......those were the days.
