K-Mart 06-31-09 Transistor AM Radio 1978 Serviced Works Excellent Vintage VTG
The radio works like new and in very lightly used condition.
Initial inspection: Tuner knob loose. Battery connector damaged. The radio seemed to work reasonably well.
Repair work done on 11-25-2024: I replaced its two capacitors. One was open. I soldered in a new battery connector.
Radiomuseum.org says the radio was made in 1978. I would guess that as well.
Repaired, it’s loud. Volume control goes smoothly from totally silent to blazing overload loud. It produces a clean and clear sound.
It’s sensitive. I was able to easily zoom straight to the local weak stations in my area I use to confirm a radio is working correctly. It is. This is a “Single Stage” radio. Its not as sensitive as the more common dual stage design and is designed to work well for local broadcast.
It’s clean and shows very little signs of use. No chips. No cracks.
Please see my photos.
I service almost all the vintage radios I sell on eBay. Serviced = I clean the volume control, check the radio’s alignment, and check its current draw.
I ship USPS Flat Rate. A tracking number will be provided the following business day after purchase. I will combine shipping when applicable, so please see my other cool old radios for sale.
