Rare tube radio made by Trancel. Model U519B. Made in Japan 1950s-

early 60s. It powers up fine and dials in AM radio. It takes 5 tubes

all of which are in good working order. The bottom of the unit has a

schematic that shows the wiring configuration as well as the correct

tubes, voltage , watts etc. Radio casing is made of a sky blue plastic

material with white knobs with gold colored accents. ON/OFF switch and

TUNING dial are the only controls. The item has some signs of its age

and general use, but overall it is in very good condition.

This would make a nice addition to anyones collection. A rare tube

model by Trancel

This was before Japan learned how to do quality.

I dunno. I had & sold a small ("mantle size") Jap AA5-type set from
the '50's that had a heavy pink cab with white grille & knobs that was
almost as nice as catalin, and the set was built like the proverbial
brick outhouse, everything assembled with machine screws & the like.
I'd like to have it back.
