Re: Roberts transistor radios; model rarity.
There really wasn't that much in it on price between the R200/300 and the R500, but the extra money bought short wave reception, of interest only to a small part of the buying public in the '60s, and a slightly larger set which probably wasn't an appealing factor to many folk either. Similarly of late in the Revival series the R200/250 models have greatly outsold the R500/550 with their bigger cabinets and better loudspeakers.
