Two vintage portable transistor radios, comprising a Roberts R-series model and a GEC Starfinder II. The Roberts radio features a plywood cabinet with teak wood end panels, a grey textured leatherette-covered body, and a grey plastic swing handle. The top-mounted control panel includes a clear plastic dial cover over frequency scales for MW, LW, and FM, flanked by two black circular knobs for volume and tuning, and four push-button band selectors. A rectangular black and silver badge on the front speaker grille reads ‘ROBERTS’ beneath a Royal Warrant crest. The GEC Starfinder II is housed in a black moulded plastic cabinet with a perforated speaker grille. It features dual analogue tuning scales on the upper front: the left for MW/LW stations including ‘Vatican’, ‘Roma’, and ‘BBC 2’, and the right for VHF/FM and SW/K bands. The manufacturer’s name ‘GEC’ and model ‘Starfinder II’ are printed in silver on the upper right fascia. Both units are equipped with internal solid-state transistor circuitry and telescopic antennas.
