Any value to this fella? Stamped 1983 Taiwan.

He is a working AM/FM Radio!!!

I just paid about $20 shipped for mine. You can often find them MIB via Argentina for about $30 plus shipping.

Oh, and I believe he's just an AM radio. No FM. So you'll be fine in case of emergencies or if you want to listen to Late Night Paranoid Whacko radio. But you're boned if you want to listen to anything other than orchestral musick or Lawrence Welk.

I had that! I remember him coming with an axe. I'll get him back someday. :)

There's two types of those particular models, one is AM (yours, as BT says) and one is FM. The FM one has an ariel that folds across behind his shoulders when stored if I remember rightly. How do I know? I have both here someplace! :lol:

yeah my wife's cousin got it from someone that gave it to her, and she passed it along to the TF nut that I am :)

He's different, I think i'll keep him :)

Don't blame you for keeping him, I think they are great. There is a different AM radio out there which kind of looks like a cross between Megatron and Soundwave who comes in similar colours to your Radiobot or a red/grey scheme.

TT dug me one of those out of my non TF pile while he was here, complete with axe. He's pretty sweet but his electrics needs fixed ;)

Apart from, y'know, the fact that he doesn't hold tapes!
Dang cool radio, though!
