Magnavox Eight Transistor Radio model AM-81, Mid-Century 60s Design, Japan, MINT For Sale

Magnavox, circa 1965, Eight Transistor Radio model AM-81 is a vintage collectible from the mid-century era. Made in Japan, this radio features a classic design that is highly sought after by collectors of vintage radios. The AM-81 model showcases the cutting-edge technology of the 1960s, with its advanced transistor design offering superior sound quality and performance compared to traditional tube radios. Ideal for those who appreciate the nostalgia and craftsmanship of bygone eras, this Magnavox radio is a timeless piece that captures the essence of retro audio technology.

The Magnavox Model AM-81 is a classic Mid-Century 8-transistor packet radio manufactured around 1965 in Japan. Serial # 221105. Highly sought after by collectors for its retro analog charm and durable construction, this vertical pocket-sized radio features a sleek front-facing "slide rule" tuning dial and a metallic grille. The radio has the rare and unusual factory green color plastic case.

Dimensions of the radio are 4-3/8 x 2-3/4 x 1-3/8 inches. The radio has an integrated earphone jack for private listening. The battery compartment is clean with no signs of old battery leakage or corrosion. The radio requires one 9 volt battery. The radio has not been tested with fresh batteries and therefore is being sold as-is. I believe most transistor radios from this era will need some form of basic servicing, perhaps a capacitor or two will need replacement. This particular radio is in beautiful collectors grade condition and would be well worth having it serviced by a qualified transistor radio tech person.

Thank you for looking and your interest.
