Gary's Vintage Gems from the North

Bubo Clash of the Titans Owl Radio
Offered here is this classic Owl radio made in Japan in the 60's. Some think it resembles Bubo from The Clash of the Titans. I don't know much about this except that it is a sought after radio, probably for its looks, but this one plays great on a common 9 volt battery which is installed through a door under the feet. The on/off switch and the tuner are the two eyes which are graced with rhinestones. The body shows light wear but no damage. Stands 7" tall. What a show piece! $245.00. (0520693)

Channel Master 6515B
Offered here is this new and unused eight-transistor radio from Channel Master. It is the model 6515B "Super Fringe" with a tuned RF stage. This radio has never been used and been in my collection for years. The black cabinet is flawless. Its only use has been my bench testing. It operates on four "C" batteries and has excellent sound and sensitivity. Includes the original leather case also in new condition. $159.00. (0520688)

Hitachi KH1005
Offered here is this scarce Hitachi model KH-1005 AM/FM portable radio. This is an early FM model with CD markings.

Inside this radio is clean and has a large "permanent magnet dynamic loudspeaker with a moving coil" for great sound. 9"W x 6"H x 3"D. $99.00. (0520670)

Realistic Flavoradio - Purple
Offered here from the Tandy Corporation is this original 1972 version Flavoradio made in Korea. These were sold in Radio Shack stores and offered in nine colors. Some colors were more common than others but this one is in purple. The Flavoradio run lasted 15 years and there were at least three different model changes during that span of time. This is the first and original style. This eight-transistor radio operates on a common 9 volt battery and when tested it fired right up pulling local stations. $34.00. (0520691)

Realistic Flavoradio - Yellow
Offered here from the Tandy Corporation is this original 1972 version Flavoradio made in the Philippines. These were sold in Radio Shack stores and offered in nine colors.

This is the first and original style. This eight-transistor radio operates on a common 9 volt battery and when tested it fired right up pulling local stations. I doubt it was ever used though because the earphone is still wrapped up inside where the battery goes. $34.00. (0520692)
