CONDITION / TESTING
UNTESTED.
I have not tested this radio for operation, so I am making no guarantee that it powers on, receives stations, or that all controls/functions operate properly.
The radio has significant vintage cosmetic wear consistent with age and previous use. There are scratches, scuffs, finish wear, discoloration/patina and wear around the case and stitching. Please study all photographs carefully.
The inside has been photographed so buyers can see the original vintage electronics and components.
PLEASE NOTE: This is being sold as a vintage collectible/electronics restoration or display piece in untested condition.
A very cool opportunity for a vintage radio collector, Motorola collector, electronics enthusiast, restoration project, or mid-century display collection.
The XP7C isn’t simply a generic “old transistor radio” — the specific model is documented as a 1966 Motorola 8-transistor AM portable, and period documentation lists it as a $27.95 model.
Actual radio shown in the photographs is the radio you will receive.
