Hi all. I am looking for information or pictures of the pink version of this model. How rare are they and roughly what price would you expect to pay for a good one.
Cheers.

Most of this model that I have seen for sale on Ebay have been pink, which is a bit odd since most radios' common colours were brown and black.

Some information on these radios can be found at Radio Musuem, though one needs to be a member (which I ain't) to extract the circuit diagram. Not all models shown there have circuits though - if you are lucky a member here may have one.

Thanks Brad. I believe they were available in Mediterranean Pink. That is the shade I'd like to see. I haven't actually seen any pink ones before.
