Vintage 1968 Admiral Model Y701R six-transistor portable AM radio featuring the Hamilton Tiger-Cats CFL team decoration.
A fantastic period crossover collectible combining vintage transistor radio history with Canadian Football League memorabilia.
This example is especially desirable because it is tested and working, and is accompanied by a period Admiral Y701R CFL-series box, original-style earphone and instruction sheet.
Details: • Admiral Model Y701R • Circa 1968 • Hamilton Tiger-Cats CFL team variant • 6-transistor portable AM radio • Made in Hong Kong • Tested and working • Tuning and volume controls functioning • Includes vintage earphone • Includes Admiral instruction sheet • Includes period Admiral Y701R CFL-series retail box • Powered by 9V battery
Important box note: The included period CFL-series box carries Toronto Argonauts / “Argos” decoration, while the radio itself is the Hamilton Tiger-Cats version. The box is therefore not being represented as the original matching Tiger-Cats box. Please refer closely to the photographs.
The radio presents remarkably well for its age, with attractive chrome-style detailing and strong original Tiger-Cats graphics. Age-related marks and wear are present as expected on a vintage piece.
An unusually complete surviving example and a superb piece for collectors of 1960s radios, Admiral electronics, CFL memorabilia, Hamilton Tiger-Cats memorabilia or vintage Canadian sporting collectibles.
Please examine all photographs carefully as they form part of the condition description.
