Hi everyone wanting to buy a white Toot a Loop Transistor radio made in the early 70's by National must be in good condition if anyone has a lime coloured one which was made for N.Z I would be interested in that also.
Thank you

Regularly see Toot a loops on Ebay, (Trade Me in NZ as well) other place to check is a lot
of Antique auction regularly bundle radios together so if you have one close to
you they are worth a go.

Can't recall ever seeing one in the flesh:

I've seen plenty on Ebay under both the National and National-Panasonic brands though never seen one on a shelf, new or used. Certainly never seen anyone jogging with one either.

My cousin got one for Xmas back in the day. I don't know if Panasonic did anything to customize these for specific countries, as they were portable radios that used common batteries and tuned the same allocated AM radio band.

I have Four of them a Red one a Yellow one a Blue one and the Orange one in as New condition
I am missing a white one and a lime coloured one made for Sth Africa only I believe but some have found their way to Australia and NZ.

Photos of the box and instructions;

I too have a Toot A Loop radio.

Mine is blue, and has faded quite a bit. Once the covers are removed, the true colour can be seen.

I received it in two pieces and I have never been able to compress the spring that goes in-between the two halves, enough to reassemble it.

I did have another Toot A Loop radio which had another model number to the one shown here.
Perhaps it was for a different country or colour range.

Theres a white one that has just been listed on ebay, along with some coloured ones.

Five of them on EBay at the moment from the same seller. Three with the National Panasonic brand and the other two with Panasonic only.

I bought the white one, I now have all 5 colours released in Australia there is a Green one very rare to find released in Sth Africa but it fetched almost $250 on ebay.
