Hi!

Does anyone on here collect pocket transistor radios?

I found a National TMR-5 in a council clean-up. It is in great condition and works well. I believe these would be from the early 70's. There is a little corrosion on the battery terminals, and the plastic on the bottom is a little burred from where you separate the case (as I guess most would be), but otherwise like new!

I don't collect these so I would like to give away free to a collector. Pickup is from Casula (in Sydney's south-west), or if you would like to pay for postage, I can send in a 500g satchel for $7.60.

Steven.
