Ah, Oscar! I remember quite a sweet little thing in pale blue, the Oscar Belle: and this, the Majestic, which may have been at the top of the range and sold for around £16.95. I had one briefly in about 1972, and shameless nostalgia had me watching for years for a replacement to come along until finally this one did, in of course the very same shiny PVC mock-croc. Reception and sound quality are poor to indifferent, just as they should be.
