These two Hi-Lite YTR-601’s were manufactured in Japan circa 1961. I’m unsure who the manufacturer was but the 6 Fujitsu transistors or the company that distributed these radios (AFCO) may hold some clues as to who made these little beauties…

They feature a rich textured metal speaker grill with the overlaid chrome name plate acting as the dial pointer. They have little cloisonné badges at the bottom of the speaker grill highlighting the 6 transistors found inside. I have also seen these radios colored black.

They measure just 3.6”H x 2.4”L.
