A vintage G.E.C. portable transistor radio dating from the mid-20th century, likely the early 1960s. The radio is housed in a brown faux-leather (rexine) protective case featuring a contrasting red leather carrying strap. The front of the set is dominated by a polished chrome-plated panel incorporating a rectangular speaker grille and a large circular tuning dial. This dial is central to the design, featuring a six-pointed star graphic and the word TUNING repeated four times around the perimeter. The manufacturer name G.E.C. is clearly printed in black serif characters beneath the tuning dial. The top of the unit features a dark brown plastic plate housing a horizontal slide-rule tuning scale, a combined volume and power control knob, a two-position toggle switch, and a socket. A further circular aperture on the side of the case provides access to an earphone jack.
