TRANSISTOR RADIO DESIGN

This classic Londale 930 was manufactured in Hong Kong from Japanese parts circa 1963. These Londale's are more commonly found branded as a Zephyr ZR-930. Both brands look identical except for the name, even the packaging is the same. They were made in Japan and Hong Kong.
 

This stunning Londale features a large under-painted escutcheon and a sparkling gold speaker grill shaped like a shield. The little cross like emblem above the tuning dial reminds me of an Ankh symbol. It has a nice tilt stand on the back and really suits both the laid back look or the standing at attention pose. It looks great in this color to; the gold trim really highlights and adds depth to the jet black case – bling bling!

 

These Londale’s came in a variety of colors, at least the more common Zephyr branded models did. They came in a nice cornflower blue, beige, red and black as pictured.
 

This Londale was part of the vintage inventory of a closed radio shop in the USA. It still has its original gift box and the rare cardboard outer box which is almost always missing. It also has a leather case, leather earphone pouch and unused earphone.

The gift box for this Londale is just 'peachy' (yeah thats the word I was looking for!) It is very cool with its turquoise pin stripes, bold red Londale logo and furry red interior cushion. No expense was spared on this radio!
 

Inside you will find 9 Zephyr brand transistors, a Zephyr speaker and Toshiba diode.
