Panasonic Ball and Chain Radio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Panasonic Ball and Chain radio was a novelty radio first produced by Panasonic in the early 1970s. It was round and on a chain. The radio was called the "Panapet". Two chrome plated dials on the surface were for tuning and volume, and a tuning display was inset on the surface of the ball. Radio was AM band only - no FM. There was a jack for a mono earplug. The Panapet came in several colors including red, yellow, white, blue, and avocado.
