Hi Guys,

A quick question about the relative rarity of early 60's Roberts radios. I've noticed on other forum posts that the Roberts R500 is concidered something of a rarity. Also on other resources on t'internet, that Roberts appear to have released a new model transistor radio every year, ie RT1 1958, R200 1960 etc. Does anyone have a possible reason for this?

Also, is the R300 a rare model?

Many thanks for your input

John
