Finally! A Good-Looking Nobility transistor radio - vintage tech - collectornet.net

The name Nobility appeared on more cheap, crummy transistor radios than any other I can think of. I guess it's ironic that the name, which is a sort of takeoff on the transistor brand Regency, is associated with radios that are nothing whatever like Regencys in appearance or significance or value. Then out of the blue I found this marvelous little charmer. Yes, it's a Nobility. But what a Nobility! Nice, tasty underpainted plastic with a star figure in it. A blue plastic inset panel runs down the left side. The grille is a sort of horizontal tuck & roll. Overall, it's a very pleasing design of the type I like to call "very architectural!" Sadly, it isn't in very good shape and even has a crack right across its underpainted dial area as you have no doubt noticed. The sticker inside the back has been torn away, so if there was a model number listed there I don't have it. If any of you have this radio, I would be pleased to learn the model number. There's a T-603 number on the board but this may or may not mean anything. The radio is sometimes seen as a Pearltone, as a Star-Lite, and as a Standard. Standard are the folks who made the Micronic Ruby radios but it is not certain that Standard actually made this radio and it makes note of that fact here in this book on Standard radios. A good-looking Nobility! Will wonders never cease?
