Description

One (1) Orion Micro Leven 7 TR transistor radio. The radio is housed in a hardcover and metal black box that opens up on one side. The inside is covered in a shiny white silk cloth. Underneath the inside bottom layer is housed the batteries and earphone (only headphones and a notice remain though). The radio is black and silver metal and plastic. The back is a black plastic covering and the front has "ORION 7 TR" in black text and a silver sover, with black box where sound comes out. There is a three leaf emblem on the front. On the side is an auxilary cord hole port and on the right side are two turn dials for volume and on/off. There is a metal cord wrapped in plastic, for carrying, attached at the top left corner. The bottom of the case has "Japan" etched into it. It was believed that this may be donated by Lee Mishkin, but no record was found to support this.
