Red Channel Master 6506 transistor radio

[radiotvnut]

I picked this up at an annual roadside yard sale / flea market. They wanted $6 for it; but, I bought a $75 brass bladed fan and they threw in the radio.

It somewhat works; but, could use some new caps. It makes a lot of static when first turned on, then one or two stronger stations come in and it sometimes howles and whistles.

I've heard that these Sanyo built Channel Master's were good performers.
