Roberts R800 AM/FM Mains/Battery

Transistor Radio

Size: 11.5" x 7" x 4"

Introduced in 1982.

The R800 is one of the larger size Roberts portable radios

It is a seven transistor + 1 integrated circuit portable radio covering the Long and Medium wavebands plus the full VHF (FM) band from 88 to 108 MHz.

It has an internal ferrite rod for the AM band and a 32 inch telescopic aerial for the FM band.

The radio has a slider tone control, external headphone socket and a 5 pin DIN socket for tape recorder etc. connection.

This R800 is housed in a strong wooden case covered with light green leathercloth, has solid teak ends and plastic covered strong metal carry handle.

The R800 stands on the usual Roberts ball bearing turntable base for the best reception from the internal ferrite rod.

It has been modified to work on 6 x "AA" Type batteries (not supplied), instead of the now almost extinct 9v Battery or directly on the mains (mains lead supplied)
