1960s Sanyo Transworld Six Band Transistor Radio 18H-815 

If you love quirky vintage radios then this 1960s Sanyo Transworld Six Band Transistor Radio 18H-815 is the one for you! Although classified as portable, its exceptionally heavy from the days when radios were mainly built from metal!

The radio is in pretty good cosmetic and working condition:-

  • The outer black leatherette case is slightly blemished with the leatherette lifting slightly on the handle
  • The chrome/metal has slightly pitted commensurate with age and use.  
  • The grille has a few blemishes which are difficult to see in the images.
  • I haven't tried to polish the metal or grille.
