Bubo Clash of the Titans Owl Radio

Bubo Clash of the Titans Owl Radio

Offered here is this classic Owl radio made in Japan in the 60's. Some think it resembles Bubo from The Clash of the Titans. I don't know much about this except that it is a sought after radio, probably for its looks, but this one plays great on a common 9 volt battery which is installed through a door under the feet. The on/off switch and the tuner are the two eyes which are graced with rhinestones. The body shows light wear but no damage. Stands 7" tall. What a show piece! $245.00. (0520693)

 

Channel Master 6515B

Channel Master 6515B

Offered here is this new and unused eight-transistor radio from Channel Master. It is the model 6515B "Super Fringe" with a tuned RF stage. This radio has never been used and been in my collection for years. The black cabinet is flawless. Its only use has been my bench testing. It operates on four "C" batteries and has excellent sound and sensitivity. Includes the original leather case also in new condition. $159.00. (0520688)

 

Hitachi KH1005

Hitachi KH1005

Offered here is this scarce Hitachi model KH-1005 AM/FM portable radio. This is an early FM model with CD markings. It is durable and well made with a strong metal handle. t operates on four "C" sized batteries. This ten-transistor set is all original and the plastic cabinet is in nice undamaged collector condition. This radio is very sensitive picking up all my AM and FM stations. The telescoping antenna helps bring in the FM stations and it is strong and straight. This has a tone control dial and also sports a dial light. Inside this radio is clean and has a large "permanent magnet dynamic loudspeaker with a moving coil" for great sound. 9"W x 6"H x 3"D. $99.00. (0520670)

 

Realistic Flavoradio - Purple

Realistic Flavoradio - Purple

Offered here from the Tandy Corporation is this original 1972 version Flavoradio made in Korea. These were sold in Radio Shack stores and offered in nine colors. Some colors were more common than others but this one is in purple. The Flavoradio run lasted 15 years and there were at least three different model changes during that span of time. This is the first and original style. This eight-transistor radio operates on a common 9 volt battery and when tested it fired right up pulling local stations. $34.00. (0520691)

 

Realistic Flavoradio - Yellow

Realistic Flavoradio - Yellow

Offered here from the Tandy Corporation is this original 1972 version Flavoradio made in the Philippines. These were sold in Radio Shack stores and offered in nine colors. Some colors were more common than others but this one is in yellow. The Flavoradio run lasted 15 years and there were at least three different model changes during that span of time. This is the first and original style. This eight-transistor radio operates on a common 9 volt battery and when tested it fired right up pulling local stations. I doubt it was ever used though because the earphone is still wrapped up inside where the battery goes. $34.00. (0520692)

 

Sony SRF-45W

Sony SRF-45W

Offered here is this Sony model SRF-45W AM/FM stereo portable radio. This model is called the "Soundabout" because it is durable and very portable. It operates on four "AA" batteries and is very sensitive picking up all known stations. The telescoping antenna is strong and straight and helps bring in the FM stations. The large speaker produces a nice sound. This radio is in all original condition and shows light wear. It is in used but not abused condition and is destined to become one of your favorites. Tough model to find. It is lightweight and small at only 6-1/4"W x 3-1/4"H x 1-1/4"D. $55.00. (0520667)

No chips or cracks! $49.00. (0520687)

 

Zenith Circle of Sound (1970s)

Zenith Circle of Sound (1970s)

This is a hard to find little solid state AM/FM radio from Zenith's Circle of Sound line. These circle of sound radios have a unique speaker setup which projects sound up and the inverse cone distributes the output in a circular motion throughout the room. This is a great playing AC table radio measuring 9" wide. Volume, tone, and tuning controls in front. Only 9" wide, a great size for almost any setting. All original with no repairs made or needed. Big sound from a small package. $85.00. (0520690)

About Gary's Vintage Gems from the North
About me: I have been interested in transistor radios for as long as I can remember, but a collector of them for over 20 years now. During that time, I have become knowledgeable and learned how to judge quality and what it takes for a radio to become a desirable collectible.

My Mission: It is my mission to offer top quality collectible transistor radios that are clean, functional, and highly desirable. I take measures to assure each one reaches a high level of cleanliness and performance before it is listed. I will try to give you a clear idea of what you are buying so that you can judge the value before you make that purchase. But if in doubt, please feel free to ask any questions before buying.

Living up to my mission statement is how I have been able to sell over 500 transistor radios in almost ten years on the attic. My clients are generally those who desire high quality and know that by dealing with me, they won't receive surprises or waste money by dealing with novice sellers on auctions.
TERMS

Payments:  Using PayPal will assure that your radio will be shipped within 24 hours.  If you prefer, I will also accept money orders or personal checks, but your personal check must clear before I ship.

Shipping:  I use the utmost care in preparing your gem for its trip from the north to you, but the cost of shipping is in addition to the price shown.  I have found that USPS Priority Mail is the most economical way to ship your new radio to you, but I am glad to use a different carrier when requested.

Questions?  In addition to the pictures, I will try to give each radio a clear description detailing the make, model, year, size, cosmetic and playing condition, battery requirements, and any accessories that are included.  If you still have questions, feel free to ask them before purchasing and I will do my best to answer them.

Returns:  If all efforts fail and a return is requested, I will be glad to refund the full purchase price of the radio once it is safely returned at the buyers expense.
