I'm cleaning out the shed, and rather than throw this in the bin, I've joined this forum so hopefully someone can use it. It's been attacked by cockroaches so it's not in very good condition. Case is Burgundy, has the matching knobs. Missing the Little Nipper label. Case has small crack in the clear plastic around one of the knobs and another bit broken out near the aerial wire hole - also lots of marks. Plastic back is in reasonable condition.
Paper capacitors and the speaker cone have been attacked by the cockroaches. I gently vacuumed around the components and powered it up for a minute - much to my surprise when I tuned it to a station and with the volume at max could hear it. Has model 62 52 & number 17338 stamped into the chassis. Available free for pickup from the northside of Brisbane. Email if you are interested.

Now gone to a better home ie Toby

Many thanks for the radio, I will see it next weekend when I visit my sons.

Edit:
Picked up radio, boy the cockroaches or silver fish love the wax coating on those old paper caps, will have to refer to circuit diagram to replace some of them. Radio in pretty good condition other wise.
Many thanks for the freebie, it will look nice in my collection.
Peter
