Admiral 4R12 "Roll Up Dial" Portable (1950)
(plastic tube portable radio)

Admiral 4R12 "Roll Up Dial" Portable (1950)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

This Admiral Retro portable set from 1950 is one of the most unusual and ingenious radios ever made. The dial is hidden inside the case. When you push the button down on the right top, the dial and red dial pointer spring up, and the radio turns on. You turn the radio off by closing the dial down into the case. Very clever, and unlike any radio made before or since. The maroon plastic case has no major cosmetic issues, just a few scratches and rubs. Incredible shape for a set 80 years old. The radio is playing strongly and clearly, picking up all my local AM stations with no problem. The plastic covered handle is in good condition. The Admiral name on front is in good condition. A wonderful example of a Retro 50's radio. It displays very nicely. About 9"W x 7"H x 4"D.
