(plastic tube portable radio)

Excel XL-45 Portable

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

For variety in my "Attic" I am adding this little red four-tube Excel portable. Manufactured just before the era of solid state it weighs less than two pounds (less batteries) and measures only 7-1/2"W x 5"H x 2"D. Physical condition is very nice with only a few light scratches on the tuning knob. The positive battery contact has corrosion but it can easily be removed for cleaning. As my collection is of earlier radios, I made no attempt to repair this one. I did test it by connecting the required 67-1/2 volt B battery voltage and a 1-1/2 volt A cell and could not get a peep out of it. I find no signs of past repairs. This could be an "easy fix" or a bear. I don't know. Shipping will be cheap as it is very light. I hope someone would like it.
