If you love the hum of nostalgia with your morning coffee, this beauty's for you. Here's a genuine Kmart Model 30-62 Solid-State AM Radio-a tidy relic from back when Kresge still ran the aisles and "solid-state" was the height of tech. With its off-white cabinet mellowed to a soft ivory gray, brick-pattern speaker grill, and golden tuning dial, this little box hums to life with the warm crackle of 1960s AM stations.
Perfect for collectors, garage benches, retro kitchens, or that shelf of "they-don't-make-'em-like-that" pieces.
