Help me ID this 1978 prop...

[DocNewborn]

Allegedly it is an off-the-shelf 1970's portable radio painted yellow, but I can't find a good matching radio.

Any ideas?

Some one should be a long with the answer. If I'm not mistaken this was ID's at one point. It's from the Holiday Special right?

Yes, it's Lumpy's computer that he watches the cartoon on. I found the pic saved on a forgotten cache of SWHS-related images from the research phase of an article I wrote for Star Wars Insider five years ago, observing the Special's 30th anniversary.

I found one older thread with a link to the original article on SW.com, which is not there anymore.

Although folks in that thread agree it's a radio, no one ID'd the manufacturer and model.

Is that a headphone jack on the side?

I know in the Holiday Special Lumpy puts a matching pair of headphones on right before watching the cartoon. Maybe searching for radios w/headphones might yield some results?
