ROBERTS R606-MB BLACK RETRO TRANSISTOR RADIO
TopFrontLHere is a classic retro Roberts R606-MB portable transistor radio from the seventies. Overall the radio is in excellent condition and fully working. The case is finished in black leatherette with real hardwood side panels – an iconic design from Roberts. Front grille and rear grilles are excellent and top dial is clear with only very faint scratches. Aerial is original and straight.
Sound quality is excellent with decent volume and bass from the large oval speaker and sounds far better than modern Roberts radios. Receives FM (88-101MHz), MW & LW via built in aerial. Operates from mains power via two pin plug or 6×1.5v C cell batteries. Note the battery terminals are perfectly clean with no corrosion. Size approx: 31cm wide, 21cm high, 9cm deep. Weighs 2Kg.
This model has a rotating turntable base for optimum AM reception. There’s an external aerial socket for use in a car and a headphone socket. Take a look at the slide show below.
