Here is Pixie sized Plaskon Mid Century beauty, but unknown model from unknown manufacturer other than Japan. My research came up with very little other than: Instruct-A-Kit Radios were sold as Educational kits to teach electronic hobbyist & newbies component assemblies including soldering, etc. back in the late 50's - early 60's. I recently purchased from the original owner who is also a lifelong ham operator who purchased kit new, assembled it & kept in his collection for 65 years. It looks like it just came out of the box new! Kind of a rare find especially in this condition. It is very similar to 1959 G.E. model T129 & the O.M.G.S. made in Japan. Also very similar to the Montclair which I just recently sold on the Attic. It is in pristine condition housed in its Ivory Plaskon case. All I can say definitively it is a five-tuber with those Mid Century design that rocks. Chrome brights in both knobs. The tuning knob states "Teaching Aids for Tomorrow's World." There is also a factory schematic & tube layout on bottom. It does pick up my local stations, but I would not declare it a strong performer. Condition is primo...rate it a 10 out of 10; simply perfect. I suppose it's a hybrid. It is very light weight & won't take up much room on the shelf & should ship inexpensively. Only 7"W x 4-1/2"H x 3-1/2"D. $179.00. (1640388) |
