Today, Roberts Radio of Great Britain has a line of retro-looking “Revival” radios available for purchase, but nothing beats an original. This is what they were based on. This is the 1958 RT-1. Built along the lines of their tube portables–a Rexine-covered wood case– it’s Roberts’ first transistor radio. And its design paved the way for its successors, the R200 and R300. It’s a six-transistor AM and LW portable using Mullard OC series transistors. It runs on six volts by way of either the small Ever Ready PP1 or the larger PP8 battery. My repro uses four C cells and is covered with 1958 Ever Ready graphics. Tone is very good and it pulls in stations solidly–just what you’d expect from the Queen’s favorite radio manufacturer.
