| Definitely, a radio for the younger listener, the Arvin model 441T featured the image of cowboy star, Hopalong Cassidy, on his horse Topper. The western motif was carried over to the metal back. The wire antenna (the "Lariatenna") was intended to be hung from the pommel of the saddle while not in use. This was a 4-tube set with a totally unbreakable metal cabinet, that was available in red or black. The red version seems to be commoner, but tends to command higher prices. The front is a piece of embossed and painted foil, and often shows finger wear around the knobs. The grill cloth is faded on this example, and should match the cabinet. | ||
