Help identifying Philco transistor from 1960's
#1

In the early 1960’s I owned an AM transistor radio. I have tried for years to find the maker of this radio as well as the model number and possibly a photo. I have always believed it was made by Philco, but I could be wrong about that. The radio was roughly 12”x10”. It had a black leather case with a leather strap handle at the top. The the entire front of the radio was chrome. The slide rule dial at the top had a chrome sliding cover that could be opened or closed. There were two chrome knobs. It ran forever on 6-8 “D” batteries. Your help in identifying this radio would be greatly appreciated. Bob Bonner.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
