Signals from Space

A recent visit to a local antiques emporium brought me this lovely 1980's radio. Made by Lloytron, it could be tuned by turning the green rocket, which also acts as a switch.
Unfortunately, a previous owner had left batteries in, which had corroded the contacts and some of the circuits. Although, it no longer functions as a radio, I was able to hitch it up to an auxillary line and play cds through the little speaker, with marvellously tinny effect!

    That has to be the most beautiful radio ever made. A great find.

    Gorgeous colours and a neat spacey design. Superb catch that Wote. Recalls a Marx flying saucer toy.
