Vintage 1978 Panasonic RF-016 AM/FM pocket radio, part of the highly collectible Mr. Thin series known for its ultra-slim profile and brushed metal construction. This unit features a digital LCD clock with alarm capabilities, a telescopic antenna, and side-mounted tuning and volume dials. The radio includes its original brown faux-leather slipcase with gold-stamped Panasonic branding.
Condition & Testing Notes: The AM and FM radio bands have been tested and function well, the backlight illuminates, and the telescopic antenna fully extends without structural bends. The unit is being cataloged and offered strictly AS IS for Parts or Repair due to a missing rear battery cover for the clock compartment (Silver Oxide 1.5V Type S76 slot), leaving the digital clock and alarm functions untested. The metal casing exhibits standard surface wear, scuffs, and minor edge abrasions consistent with age and field use. The main radio compartment requires two AAA batteries (not included) and remains clean.
Professional Handling: This item will be securely packed in a brand-new, right-sized shipping box with professional-grade padding to prevent shifting. We never reuse old or weakened packaging; your item arrives protected by high-quality materials to ensure it reaches you in the exact condition pictured.
