Toshiba 6TP-335 (Japan)
This is a rare and great looking reverse-painted Japanese transistor radio from Toshiba. It is one of their earlier models and is very hard to find because as far as I can tell it was never sold in the USA. It is a rare variation on the "Coffin" model that has a different reverse painted dial area. The vertical slide rule dial area is reverse painted. The radio looks great and has no chips or cracks but has a very tiny and very hard to photograph stress line on the dial (see pic). Tested and works but it seems to squeal and pop and whine loudly most of the time it's on a station.
$450.00. (1740006)

Mitsubishi 3X-345 Earphone-Only Radio (Japan)
This is a rare and great looking Japanese three-transistor transistor radio from Mitsubishi. It is one of their earlier models and is very hard to find because as far as I can tell it was never sold in the USA. The radio looks great and has no chips or cracks. It is very tiny as seen in the pics. It is an earphone only radio: no speaker. Untested because I don't have the correct batteries.
$250.00. (1740005)

Sharp TR-235A AM/SW (Japan)
This is a rare and great looking reverse painted Japanese transistor radio from Sharp. It is one of their earlier models and is very hard to find because as far as I can tell it was never sold in the USA. The slide rule dial area is reverse painted as is the unique Sharp logo on the front. The radio looks great and has no chips or cracks. Tested and works great but it seems like there must be something wrong with the original four "AA" battery holder. I couldn't get it to work using it, but if I put a 9V battery in, the radio works great! Includes the original leather case which is in decent condition, and the original telescoping antenna which is in great condition.
$275.00. (1740004)

Standard SR-H170 (Japan)
This is a rare and great looking Japanese transistor radio from Standard. It is one of their earliest models and as far as I can tell was never sold in the USA. It utilizes eight oval cased NEC transistors and a glass diode. The vertical slide rule dial area of this radio is reverse painted. The cabinet is a medium blue color. This radio has no chips or cracks but it does have some yellowing on the grille from being in the leather case. Tested and currently does not seem to be working but the radio does pop when turned on and hisses softly. Comes with original leather case which is just in fair condition.
