If the speaker and amp are good, you can retrofit it into a bt speaker with $5 of parts. If I saw this at a garage sale, it'd definitely be a purchase.
“In 1959, Sharp introduced a rocket shaped transistor radio, naming it Tranket sold at 10,980 yen at that time, when the initial salary of public servants was 10,200 yen.”
There used to be a toy that was heavy-nosed rocket-shaped that you put a 'gun cap' in and if you dropped it on concrete it would go "bang". It looked kind of like this.
"An exclusive attachment sold at 95 yen enabled to attach the radio to bicycle and bike handles, and with its durable design against vibration, it could be used even running on rugged roads. With a leather case sold a 590 yen, the radio suddenly became portable for outdoors, skiing, and climbing. "👍
what a remarkable radio! can i be dumb and point out that the term "muscle car" didn't appear until after tail-fins had gone out of style five or six years later?
Now I want to write a 1960s themed spy movie just to have an excuse to film a fight scene where our hero shoves this period-accurate transistor radio into the eye of a KGB agent.
