I thought this one was going to be an easy fix like the turquoise Admiral I repaired recently.  
I have no idea why I thought that!
Channeling Radio Cruncher, I dive deep into the murky world of transistors.
Will I emerge unscathed to return to the world of wood and Bakelite, things that glow and dangerous voltages?
You betcha!

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".
