I am a newbie here and trying to find some information on 3 radios that have recently come into my possesion.

The first is a Monacor (not Monacore) 10 transistor AM radio with Police Band
Image

The second one is a Hi-Fi Deluxe who I have never heard of before, 6 transistor
Image

And lastly is a Philco
Image

I would like to know production dates for these radios and any other information those with more knowledge than me, would care to share.

Thank you in advance for your assistance and
Happy New Year!

Karen

welcome to the forum....

First, find the model numbers (they will be there somewhere).

Then, look them up here:
http://www.radiomuseum.org/

or here:

I have been able to find the philco and the Marvel but am not having any luck with the Monacor with the police band.
It's probably mid 60's to early 70's but there is no information that I have been able to find in several hours looking on the web. Can anyone assist?

Thank you pixellany for pointing me in the correct direction.

Karen

I feel that this must be a decent radio because it has a Pioneer Speaker and Onkyo parts (well at least one part came from Onkyo) I've owned both brands of equipment but never in transistor radios before.
