Roberts Revival Radio (Tan Leatherette)

It has taken over a decade, but C. Crane has finally brought the Roberts radio to the U.S. This elegant, simple radio is encased in Leatherette, has excellent audio for its size and good AM/FM reception. The Roberts Revival bears the Royal British insignias and has been issued a "Royal Warrant of Appointment". The insignias mean that this radio is provided to the Royal family and also tell you of the prestige and quality of the radio.

The Revival has an up/down tone button that corresponds well with Voice and Music. It has the Long Wave Band which was used primarily in the U.S. for radio beacons so ships at sea could triangulate their position. European broadcasters used Long Wave for many traditional radio shows in the past.

The Roberts Revival has traditional needle and dial tuning. It may be one of the last high-quality radios made that has a real dial on it. A person accustomed to a dial might really enjoy this. True to its origins, the radio is marked MW for Medium Wave instead of AM. There also are station identifiers printed on the dial like "World Service" for the BBC broadcast. UL listed adapter is included. It also works on 4 optional "D" batteries, but I won't tell you anything more. It's too much fun to find out for yourself. Now made in China.
