National Panasonic

This is two of my R-72 "Toot-A-Loop" radios. These two were purchased from the U.S.A. around 15 years ago. This was when the Australian Dollar was at parity with the U.S. currency, and they wern't asking the astronomical amounts asked today.

The Yellow one is new old stock and has the original packaging, earphone, 9v battery, and stickers.

I also have the Red one, Australian sourced, that is the second run 3 volt version.

I am missing a White one. The rare Lime Grreen and Orange colours that were only sold in Australia and New Zealand, and maketed as "Sing O Ring".

Interestingly, they were rebadged as Citizen, and Philips France even rebadged the early ones.

There is also a FM only version that was made in South Africa under licence.
