This handsome little Channel Master has a lot going for it! It is well balanced, stylish and very well made. It has a large slab of reverse painting on the front and a beautiful little cloisonné badge on the metal speaker grill. The red volume knob with accompanying window stands out against the black cabinet and is a nice touch. Sanyo Channel Masters were arguably the most popular brand of Japanese radios sold in the USA behind Sony. This particular model is rarer than the more common horizontal sets and in my opinion it is a very sharp and smooth looking radio!
Sanyo had two different model numbers for this radio, 6503 and 6504. The 6504 was the ‘poor mans’ version; it came with no accessories.
This radio can also be found branded as an RCA GP-336 with a slightly different face.
