Here is an all original radio of mine that it seems some of you may enjoy taking a look at. It is about 9 1/2 inches across and 6 inches tall. It works perfectly. Just may need a little bit of a cleaning from some dust and debris and outside of this is in great shape with no cracks or chips. Typically this is found in a dark brown color from what I know so this may be a more rare variation/color.
I appreciate you passing by. Have an awesome one and may the remainder of the week be your best yet.... : )

Very cool radio electobacco! Love those Motorolas

no problem electobacco i figured instead of having all my stuff hidden away in my apartment i should put it on display for the world to look at i used to have a really nice zenith 6r087 wooden console but i sold it back to the original family after i restored it and to make matters worse i have got to go see them again to get some new pics of it as the hard drive recently died in my computer and i lost ALL my pics
Great idea to share your treasures with the world DCB! Thanks for sharing the information in your post as well. Have a great day and upcoming Memorial Day weekend my friend! : )
