1970s WH 1160 Hitachi Transistor Radio With LW / MW / SW / Marine Bands

Well, this 1970s WH 1160 Hitachi Transistor Radio With LW / MW / SW / Marine Bands is a really strange looking vintage radio harking from the time when communication / Navigation was aided by a series of radio beacons; most of which are no longer operating.

In fair cosmetic and working condition, although it is difficult to receive a decent signal and is a bit crackly. It does have surface scuffs, blemishes and pitting commensurate with age and use.

Summary Specification:

  • Model: Hitachi WH-1160
  • Portable Battery Radio requiring 4x 'D' cells (1.5v) which are not included due to the difficulty in shipping anything containing batteries.
