I have a radio that my mother gave to my father as a gift in the late
1970's (or there abouts, she thinks). It's a Candle made by the Tokyo
Transistor Industry Co., LTD., model TK-2653.

For what it's worth, I associate Candle radios with the late 50s and early
60s, but I'm no expert.

The few Candle radios I'm aware of are shirt pocket AM only transistor
radios.

I sold some Candle stereos... I still use one of them
today... and in
general they were a good brand name, although my $700.00 Candle micro-
wave oven went kaput after 4 years.
