Hello,
recently, I walked into a vintage audio shop looking for some old plastic radios.
I collect small inexpensive tabletop AM radios, without the clock.
I managed to find this little Motorola 56A in red.
It is not in perfect shape, has a small chip on the top and a stress crack ontop.
Anyways, I thought it would be a nice addition to my collection.
The internals have been gone through inside and works perfect.
cheers

Was plastic invented in 1956? 
Looks to be very modern for 1956. Is it a valve radio?
