lower one is fantastic. really nice wonder how many transitors it has.
my big grundig has twenty one. i am guessing this must be a twelve.

yes it would appear i would be right seeing as how its written right on the front of it in plain english.
hmmm maybe i should not have worked out so hard what does a stroke feel like again

Trick question....
Do you have a pic of
Panasonic RC-X220 ?

yo,the have it here too.

Love that top one Jens. Looks very cool.
I really like these little transistor radios.

Here are some of mine if i may share
They do need cleaning but...




and my favorite...

great!

these must be rare,kind of pre-boomboxes...


the asymetric one is indeed awesome!

I also have these three National Panasonic 2-speaker radios (in leather cases). They're rather large. All of mine came from eBay sellers in Australia. I wonder if these (and some other National Panasonics) might have been exclusive to Australia.

it seems none has fm?

RC-X220 clock radio.



Only $10.00
It has an input 3.5mm jack too.

Right! I guess there was a time (sixties?) when FM was considered a radio stepchild. Of course, that changed completely not too much later.

Here are my fully-dressed (in leather), twin-speaker, Australian beauties:
top = R-366B, left = T-350, right = R-358B

Before FM took over wasn't there briefly a Stereo AM?

This is different than Stereo AM, but I know that some stations created their own Stereo AM by broadcasting the left channel on one of their stations and the right channel on another frequency. To get "stereo" you needed 2 AM radios tuned to the left and right channel. It was kind of a neat thing to do....

I wonder if any radios were made with TWO AM tuners in one box with two speakers to take advantage of this. I would be very interested in owning that brief piece of history....

here are a few examples ,
there is also the sony-cfs6000 with am stereo reception...

Also from sanyo a boombox was delivered with am stereo reception:

They brought two verions on the market:



this one came without:


this one included am stereo:

This sony icf-cs910 clock radio (ac only)might have been the last representative of am stereo units:

When I was a kid we had a Curtis-Mathes console stereo (a piece of furnture!) that had a function setting called "Radio Stereo." At the time, there were stations that broadcast one stereo channel on AM and the other on FM, and, to accomodate that rather unbalanced system, this unit let you dial in an AM frequenecy on the left speaker and FM on the right. I remember my parents trying it once (apparently there was a radio station in Chicago that experimented with this system) and it sounded terrible! Fortunately, FM was broadcasting in multiplex stereo not too much later.

interesting story...very rare feature!

some c-m furniture:
maybe this?


or that?



or this?

Yes, it was like the first picture. "Colonial" design in maple wood.

Here are my two AM Stereo boomboxes (both Japanese domestic):

Sony ZS-70


Sony CFD-32

Very nice Transistors BB.
I do see these fairly often at the markets here in Australia and i have picked up a few that i like including the larger ones. Great to see someone else collecting them.
