Admiral 4R12 Portable (1950)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

This Admiral AC/DC portable set from circa 1950 is one of the most unusual and ingenious radios ever made. The dial is hidden inside the case. When you push the button down on the right top, the dial and red dial pointer spring up, and the radio turns on. You turn the radio off by closing the dial down into the case. Very clever, and unlike any radio made before or since. The maroon styrene case is undamaged, just a few scratches and rubs. The radio is playing strongly & clearly on AC. The plastic covered handle is in good condition. Admiral name on front is in good condition. A wonderful example of a Retro 50's radio. Displays really nicely. About 9"W x 7"H x 4"D.
