Vintage ZEPHYR RN-7 MIDGET PORTABLE 4 TUBE PRE TRANSISTOR PRE WALKMAN NICE RADIO

Description

This is a RARE
Vintage 1950s (?) ZEPHYR model RN-7
MIDGET AM PORTABLE 4 TUBE RADIO!
Nice hard to find small radio, one of the last tube type radios before transistors took over the market, and one of the few tube radios made this small (only a little under 6 inches wide!), made to fit in a coat pocket.
It is in good shape but has some flaws, the thick white plastic is somewhat yellowed and has a crack along the lower left side and goes just a bit up the front corner and has some small chips on the inside lip of the back cover (chips not visible when radio cover is in place). Also missing one of the little metal clips that holds the handle on.
Reverse painted trim on the front of the radio looks good and so does the round tuning dial.
Overall a pretty example of this rare radio that seldom turns up
Look at the pictures before bidding as they are an important part of the description.
It uses unusual batteries that I do not have (there is a plastic shell to one of the original battery still in the radio to display with it), but I don't have any batteries for it, so I did not test the
radio (battery terminals have some rust but not too bad). since it is untested I will assume after 60+ years it will need repairs and is sold asis, not guaranteed to work.
