Philco 5115/Table Transistor Receiver (c. 1968) – Wooden Cabinet – Fully Working – From the Collection of a Radio store owner – No Reserve

A stylish late-1960s Philco transistor table radio combining elegant Mid-Century design with solid-state reliability.

The radio retains its original telescopic antenna, European station dial, Celestion loudspeaker and distinctive removable red 9V battery compartment. The rear panel offers connections for a pick-up (P.U.), tape recorder/output, extension speaker and external aerial.

A beautiful example of late-1960s industrial design, ideal for collectors of vintage radios or Mid-Century interiors.
