This Oriental radio has to be one of the most beautiful and sophisticated 2-transistor radios ever made. The case is made of the usual plastic material but it is painted with a beautiful shade of mustard-colored lacquer. On the front is a hand painted peacock complete with gold highlights and five inlaid mother-of-pearl accents in its tail. There are two red enameled badges - one with the wording “Oriental” and one with “All Transistor.” The two control knobs are recessed and the tuning knob has reverse painted station numbers. The back of the set has the wording “2-Transistor, 2-Diodes, Made in Japan.” Last but not least, it has a delicate goldtone swing handle. A truly beautiful transistor radio!
