Arvin 63R58 Walnut 9-Transistor Portable Radio w/ Top Grain Cowhide Case WORKS


A charming mid-century Arvin portable transistor radio housed in genuine top-grain cowhide. The set powers on and plays using 6 C batteries. The battery alignment can be a little particular — if the radio cuts out, simply adjust the placement and tension to restore contact. Displays beautifully and has that warm, classic transistor tone.
