Philips - 90/RL/250 Transistor radio

Up for auction is a true piece of European industrial design history: the Philips 250 portable radio, produced in the early 1970s (roughly 1972-1974). This model is famous among collectors for its bold color contrast between the matte black ABS body and the iconic tuning and volume knobs in bright lime green.

The design features clean lines, a geometric perforated grille, and a satin aluminum retractable handle that also serves as a stand. The clear Plexiglas scale recalls the historic European radio stations of the era (MW/LW), adding an irresistibly nostalgic charm.
