Picked this Sinclair Radio up today at a local Antique market where a lot of venders set up tables outside on Sundays. These were made to look like a gas pump and sold at gas stations. I got this home and stuck in a battery and it works! Sure reminds me of the old days listening to the Beatles "I want to hold your hand" enjoy.

Thanks to gargoylecollector, packrat-place, fifties50's, trukn20, officialfuel, toolate2, AR8Jason, mtg75, kerry10456, and jimboothfinds, glad you all love this.
Thanks BELLIN68, egreeley1976, Hunter and lannd, glad you liked or loved this.
i like how they put the tuner dial to read from where the pump comp. would be.
I've been meaning to add some of these to my collection. This one is really cool. I also like the Sunoco ones; they have great colors.
Thanks to mikielikesigns2 and WinterWolf for comments and love, I hope to add a Sunoco one too but the price goes to high on ebay.
Thanks also to Trey, sanhardin, Chevelleman69 and eye4beauty for looking and loves this.
Thanks AntiqueRadioZenith4
Your Transistor radio deserves the attention because..... I love dinosaurs :) and is far harder to find than Sunoco ones .
Thanks lannd, Sunoco ones do come up often.
Thanks clockerman, jameyrd, glad you love this.
