Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Carlos Latuff, who writes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hey Thomas, check this radio set I just bought.<\/p>\n

Portable, MW only, working with 4 AA batteries. It’s working perfectly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This piece was made in Japan, I don’t know the year, but the curious thing is the Arabic name on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe a model directed to Middle East markets?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Who knows, your readers may come with some information about this model.<\/p>\n

All the best,<\/p>\n

Carlos Latuff<\/p>\n

What a cool little transistor radio! Thanks for sharing the photos, Carlos.<\/strong><\/p>\n
