Can You Tune-In Tokyo?

The old joke of tuning in Tokyo while pretending to adjust or tune a woman's nipples or breasts like knobs on an old radio set comes to life with this retro transistor radio.




A little sexy doll in a see-through babydoll nightie has her arms stretched over her head, accentuating and offering her bust -- which makes sense because her nipples are the dials. One is for tuning in stations, the other is for switching the radio on &/or off.

According to auction listings, she measures 11 1/2 inches tall, 6 inches wide.






While one is listed now, these radios are not super common. At least some of these radios were made by Windsor, but they must not have clear maker marks (or, quite unlikely, sellers neglect such details), so the best way to search for them is with nude doll radio, sexy transistor radio doll, and variations thereof (including misspellings).

The first one I'd ever seen was in rough shape and I've been watching (and saving photos) ever since.






In 6 months, I've only spotted 6 of them (and some sold over $50); so happy hunting.

A blonde version of the doll -- and you can just make out the box, with its clear plastic window; but the seller has not identified the maker.
