1962 Zenith Royal 50L

Shirt pocket radio, thermoplastic cabinet
4 1/2 x 2 11/16 x 1 5/16 inches / 114 x 68 x 33 mm
Six transistors (Holland), two 1.5-volt AA cells

A really handsome model in the Zenith Royal 50 series -- for me, this Royal 50L and the Royal 59 are the nicest of the Royal 50s. Made in the USA, of course. I don't know who made "Holland" transistors.
