Found this 1962 Sony TR-911 BC/SW tri-band radio suffering in a thrift store and felt I had to rescue it. It is missing it's S-Meter (How did that happen?) and has a replaced tone control knob and a chip in the case.
But, it works great. It is loud, sensitive and selective. It has a couple of interesting features. The knobs are dual function, volume/tone and tuning/fine tuning. It has two earphone outputs.
Perhaps it's classic looks are why it was used in "Good Morning Vietnam" as the receiver the soldiers were using to listen to the voice of Adrian Cronauer.
I plan on restoring it .
Anyone have one of these or the TR-1000 in their collection?
