1960s Dynatron Nomad TP11 Vintage Portable Transistor Radio

This 1960s MW/LW Dynatron Nomad TP11 Vintage Portable Transistor Radio has recently been fully checked, serviced and cleaned. It is covered in its original red rexine cloth.

In pretty good cosmetic and working condition, with a few small blemishes in the cloth and age related discolouration. Lovely bakelite maroon knobs and switches.

The radio was originally powered by two PP9 9 volt batteries but could also be mains powered with an appropriate adapter (not included). Similarly by changing the battery connectors for a PP3 connector, two adapters utilising 6x AA batteries may also be used in place of each PP9-see photos. However, this particular radio has been adapted to take two 9v PP3 batteries.

We have powered the radio and found the radio to be lively capturing a multitude of AM stations on both MW and LW. Both tuning and volume controls operate fairly well with some crackles.

Summary
