WTB Sonix Victory 75 Radio

[Vincent William]

Hello all,
I am particularly interested in this one radio, i believe was used as a military radio. Radio museum says it was manufactured in Hong Kong. A distant cousin, variation of it seems to be a one North Star brand of Canada (which i can’t find the picture at the moment). I will post more pictures of this.
If any one has any information of one, please let me know. Appreciate it.

– Manufactured in 1975
– Manufactured in Hong Kong
– Imported in UK as the Sonix, North Star to Canada

What on earth do you want with that cheap toy radio, its not military, just a cheap am fm radio , similar junk to YORX, JULLIETTE, LLOYDS, made by the millions in the 70s , sold by the thousands with any name you wanted on it. Way inferior to the cheapest Radio Scrap radio. ????

lol… well, it’s not a Cadilac as you can see. An interesting fact of it:
In 1978, Season 2 episode 5 of The New Avengers: titled Obsession ran the episode with the villain holding a peculiar piece, the Sonix radio. You are maybe right, it’s probably not a military radio; but i would really love to obtain this piece of the past. Really hope someone here has one / at least an info on it
