Featuring the Impossible Pot Puzzle, the amazing Battery Bazooka and Trans Transistors (they're silicon but they identify as germanium) this little pink box is the gift that keeps on giving!
ADMIRAL TRANSISTOR 8 Model 8K2
"The New Wonder of the Electronic Age".
"The go-anywhere, play anywhere portable with no space-wasting valves to break or burn out. Eight miraculous, midget-sized transistors pull in even distant stations strongly and clearly, virtually never wear out in normal use, operate approximately 500 hours on eight ordinary torch cells. Case is unbreakable plastic, guaranteed 5 years, in four 2-tone combinations.
Features an exclusive "pop-up" rotoscope antenna concealed in the top of the cabinet, powerful alnico PM speaker, wide tuning range 535 - 1620 kHz. Unbreakable cabinet is available in four lovely two-tone combinations with modern charcoal-toned grille and golden metal trim".
