A very slim coat pocket radio. The brass-plated speaker grille covers most of the cabinet face and is repeated on the cabinet's back face, including the hinged battery compartment. "Pizon Bros" is embossed in gold on a black reverse-plastic background above the grille. There are separate slide-rule tuning scales on the cabinet's top face: one for MW, one for LW.
Ads for the Translitor Pocket 65 appeared in the July and November 1964 issues of the French electronic hobbyist magazine, Le HAUT-PARLEUR.
