Eastronic 6 Transistos (sic).
Bought a tinny tranny for £7.99 off eBay. I was intrigued by the telescopic aerial on an AM only radio... it's not connected to anything, maybe the enclosure is used for FM versions as well. It was sold as not working, I found it did work through the earphone (2.5mm!) and after desoldering the speaker measured open cct. I tweezered the paper voice coil cylinder out and found the break on the coil was at the start of the winding so I wound it out enough to solder it and crammed it back on to the magnet. So now it works, the reception is as poor as you might expect and the speaker does click a bit when I can find a loud enough signal.
