Realistic Lunavox Designer Series I, AM Radio1971


Unusual shape. Been on my saved search list for 5 years, one turned up last month in California, USA. Radio rests on a button that turns it on or off, with 1/2 see through body and 1/2 chrome metal front. Even after 50 years, no faults were found on the unit, just as well because I haven't got a clue how to get in. If you know the catalogue number the circuit can be found on line, but pay for download only. Realistic was formed in the early 1960s in the USA as Radio Shack and opened branches all around the World. There were very useful for the electronic hobbyist as UK branches appeared as Tandys in the 1970s. I remember buying a kit for building a digital clock, that still works today. Still around today as a small set-up of on-line sales only.
