Motorola 5T22R (1957/58)
(plastic tube table radio)

Motorola 5T22R (1957/58)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!
A ONE-DAY WONDER!

If you are the kind of person who likes to get virtually smacked in the eye by a radio, this cute, if unusual Motorola 5T22R should be your cup of tea. I think Motorola calls it "red" (The "R" in the model number). Maybe a color blind person in the marketing department. The bright orange cabinet is in very nice condition with no noticeable scratches or dings. The bright gold dial, kind of looking like they had to cram it into the allowed space, is oddly attractive and really catches the eye. My usual thorough chassis restoration produced a fairly good player on the provided antenna. The sound isn't bad from the perfect 4-inch speaker. If you are a post war baby boomer like me, you gotta love this unique radio from a great bygone era. None has ever sold on the Attic, so I presume it is rare. I may have paid a trifle too much for this one, and have no idea the value. One has sold on eBay for this price, so let's start here. 10"W x 6"H x 6"D.
