Motorola portable all transistor AM/FM battery operated radio.
I received it just as you see it. I works fine and sounds great, but I'm curious to know when it was built. Does anyone have more information about this model? Update: Irv wrote in to let me know that the X70E was manufactured in 1963 and the original list price was $19.95. |

| Two knobs control off/on/volume and tuning. The center column displays a tuning bar, with AM on the right and FM on the left. |
| Motorola opened their corporate headquarters in Franklin Park in 1959, so based on the address on the label it appears this radio was built in 1959 or the early 1960's. |

| Motorola adopted the "Batwing" M corporate logo in 1955, so I'm curious why this radio bears an earlier design. |
