Had never heard of this brand, but Interesting radio. The design of the circular tuning dial is unique. It makes the radio stand out. Some details (as available on the back of the radio and the instruction manual) SHOULD have been shared to make the upload more stimulating: - Name of the manufacturer - Country of manufacture - Year of manufacture (if available) - AM frequency range available - Audio power output of the speaker. Thanks for showing us your acquisition. I am a radio-enthusiast and collector myself.

@@JAKEJIM12 Hi ! I want to thank you wholeheartedly for taking an immense amount of trouble to find out a huge amount of data and information related to the radio. All this is of great interest to me. What is particularly interesting is that this Hong Kong-manufactured radio takes a 9V battery. Possibly this radio dates back to a time when 1.5V size AA batteries (penlight cells) were yet to become economical and popular. On the positive side a single 9V battery would serve the radio for a much longer time as compared to regular zinc chloride AA batteries. However, modern 9V batteries are rectangular in shape but this RCA battery is square. Due to this size anomaly, I wonder how a replacement battery can be fitted in once the existing battery drains. The speaker is clearly rated 200mW which is quite a normal output even today for a radio of this size. Thank you once again for this upload on quite an interesting vintage pocket radio. Hope you are able to sell it soon. Good luck and all good wishes.
