Solid State – Apollo space age design radio Panasonic, Matsushita, National
Apollo radio by solid state highly collectable space age radio. Made in japan in the 1960s and in working condition. Takes 4 double A batteries Controlled by the knobs on each side one for volume and the other for tuning. When turning the side knobs, it makes the brown and red parts move back and forth over the orb.
In good working condition with minor wear due to its age and use, One side of the brown volume half ring is loose (see last two pictures) as the other side is attached everything still works well. The one side could be fixed by putting a little glue or maybe another way I leave that up to the buyer Only AM/MW.
