    Portable motorola radio. would love to see it turn on since this is another time capsule. has no chord or battery pack. amazing piece! not sure of the year production but I believe its from the 60's or sooner.

      I think earlier--1950s. My dad had a Radio & TV repair shop for 15 years--Going with mid 1950s. Reaching back in memory. No telling if I hit it right--but someone here will know for sure. REALLY nice to see it!
