It's an uncompromising box shape with woodgrain effect plastic housing and a large front display panel housing the wavelength indicator, clock display, a multi-function knob for the clock modes, radio band selection switch, and volume and tone sliders.  The tuner wavelength indicator is, unusually, presented in a circular fashion with separate AM and FM sections to it. Knobs for adjusting the tuner and the clock are located to the sides of the unit, whilst to the right hand side of the unit is an earphone socket. The audio output from the DC-10 is surprisingly solid, rounded and loud, and this, combined with robust construction throughout, seems to indicate that this wasn't a "cheap and nasty" production. Far from it. An eye-catching appliance that would definitely take centre-stage in the right environment.

The DC-10 measures approximately 32cm (12½ in.) in width, 15cm (6 in.) from front to back, with a height of 11cm (4¼ in.). This item is in good working and aesthetic condition. It is wired to a UK three-pin plug on a 1.3m (50 in.) cable and has been function-tested. There are no chips or cracks to the housing, and only to-be-expected signs of age and use such as slight wear to dials and labels and some very minor nibbles to the black bezel. Please note, this clock is not illuminated.

]]> Vintage Funky “Tote-A-Tone” Portable AM Radio https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/vintage-funky-tote-a-tone-portable-am-radio/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=vintage-funky-tote-a-tone-portable-am-radio Wed, 26 Feb 2020 22:00:20 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=6305 Looking rather like a plastic discus with a surprised face on it or a steamrollered Panasonic "Panapet" (R-70), this portable AM radio has groovy written all over it. It doesn't, of course, but the shape, the font in the sticker, the red and orange colour scheme, and the arrangement of the speaker and control dials, all adds up to a peculiarly groovy item, and moreover one which is designed to be "worn" over the shoulder so you can take your tones with you (ahem).

The radio works - although a bit crackly -  and takes two "AA" batteries - you just unscrew the two halves to reveal the inside and the battery compartment. The plastic strap is affixed to the metal belt which surrounds the orange housing via a "D" ring, which is not original but which works perfectly. It and the strap can be removed if necessary, the latter by unscrewing the red closure which holds the belt in place.

The radio measures approximately 13cm in diameter with a depth of 6cm (approx. 5 in. and 2¼ in. respectively), and the strap is approximately 122cm (48 in.) in total length. In very good condition with only extremely minimal superficial signs of age and use.
