Roberts Revival Radio (Blue Leather)

It has taken C. Crane over 10 years to bring the Roberts radio to the U.S. from England. This elegant, simple radio in encased in fine leather, has excellent audio for its size and good AM/FM reception. The Roberts Revival has been issued a "Royal Warrant of Appointment", which means they provide this radio to the Royal family. This tells you of the prestige and the quality of the radio. The radio also bears their royal insignias.

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. You may find a Morse Code beacon or two still working on this band. 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 the only high-quality radio 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 are also station identifiers printed on the dial like "World Service" for the BBC broadcast. UL listed adapter is included. Oh yes, the real leather, with the sweet smell is included. The colors available will be limited to some degree or another as is the production. 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. Final assembly in Great Britain. C. Crane is the U.S. warranty center for the Roberts Revival.
