    What I know:

    My great aunt left me this radio. I received it in 1997.

    The radio is a Raleigh.
    The front panel reads: 18 Transistor 4 Band Twin Speaker DC<>AC
    The label reads:

    CAUTION - To prevent electrical shock, do not remove back. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

    MODEL: 1485AC
    117 VOLTS, 60 CYCLES, 5 WATTS
    MFG: Raleigh Electronics Division
    Kaysons International, Ltd.

    The panel in the second picture has the DC<>AC switch, PHONE and AUX jacks.

    The pictures don't show but the 4 Bands are detailed in picture as follows from top to bottom:

    PB - Police Car in blue
    AIR - Airplane in white
    FM - Trumpet in yellow
    AM - Football helmet in red

    On the right side of the dial in the same color it reads:
    POLICE
    AIR CRAFT
    MUSIC
    SPORTS

    Four knobs. From upper left to upper right to lower left to lower right:
    Tune
    Tone (above: L-R)
    PB AIR FM AM
    Vol> Off

    Everything is in excellent condition, other than a minor leather tab loss off the battery compartment. Case is leather and fully intact. There are two white paint spots on the edge of the back and bottom where my aunt most likely made contact.

    Can't seem to locate anything about this online. It seems like a high end type version and my aunt usually only bought things once. Don't know that I would sell period but any info would be appreciated. If you like Phish, what do you think of my ACDC Bag?
