Roberts manufactured this model until recently as part of their "classic" range with a retail price in the region of �90. Unlike the one shown here, the later ones are powered by 1.5 volt cells (4xLR20) in a battery box. You can expect to pay in the region of �40 for a second hand one in good condition.

This is one of two non working Roberts radios given to me by Sabrina Mitchell who said that they had served her well over her long married life and were just sitting in cupboards taking up space but could not bear to chuck them away!
