Anyone ever heard of a Belva branded transistor radio?

At one of the local second hand stores that I frequent, there is an AC operated Belva "All transistor" AM/FM white plastic cased clock radio that looks to be from the late '60's/early '70's. He quoted me $15 for it; but, said his feelings wouldn't be hurt if I didn't take it because the radio was currently their only source for music. I asked him if he'd trade it for something newer and he said he would. So, I just need to find some sort of modern AM/FM piece of crap to let him have. Actually, what he has is not much more than a piece of crap; but, since it's a brand I've never heard of, I find it a little interesting.

Here's a picture that he sent me of the radio. At first, I thought he might have read the brand wrong; but, I went by there and he is correct on the brand. I'd never give $15 for something like this; but, I would trade him something that I have no money in for it.

Are you sure of the spelling? Bulova made a lot of clock radios.

Recognize that,Kreisler Australia made them with other strange makers names on them,see if says MSP on the speaker,a special 68 ohm center tapped type,also they made a tube version with 6BE6,6N8 6GV8 tubes running of a 240-110 transformer with a bridge,33uf 4k7 33uf filter network,the plastic brackets holding the loopstick crack can be repaired by gluing a piece of plastic over the crack.
