Magnavox AW-100World\'s First Shortwave Transistor RadioMade in 1957Original Advertisement IncludedSee Video Below! For sale is a Magnavox AW-100 made in Ft. Wayne Indiana in 1957. It is the first commercial transistor radio with short wave capabilities. It plays great on all bands with plenty of volume. The case is sturdy and the original handle is still flexible and usable. The telescoping antenna is also in great shape with no major bends. The chassis has been completely recapped with all new electrolytic and paper capacitors. It was quite a job as there were over thirty capacitors that needed replacing. The outer covering of the cabinet is in good shape with only minor defects. (see pictures) The grille is also in great shape with only minor dents. In many cases, it is completely pressed in around the speaker opening. Included is an original magazine clipping advertisement for the radio. Also included is a six cell C battery box. It can be used to power the radio as the original batteries aren\'t available. It isn\'t hardwired into the radio because I didn\'t want to remove the original battery connectors, however they can be wedged between the batteries and the contacts in the box and it works just fine.
