Vintage Roberts R900 MW/LW/FM Dark Grey Portable Transistor Radio 

This is a very nice working example of a 1980s Vintage Roberts R900 MW/LW/FM Dark Grey Portable Transistor Radio. This radio has recently been fully checked, serviced, cleaned and polished.

Approximate Dimensions: 

Width, Height, Depth (WHD): 12.25 x 6.5 x 3.75 inch / 31.1 x 16.5 x 9.5 cm

As this is a more than 30 years old radio it does have some age related defects, but in general it looks stunning and will be a great addition to any radio collection. 

It is complete and original, and in very good cosmetic and working condition. The Dark Grey cloth covered cabinet is in great condition with a few superficial scuffs. There are a few blemishes on the teak sides and top / base, and a small amount of pitting / blemishes on the knobs, grille and chrome. All commensurate with age and use.
