I just picked up an old Realistic receiver that has 5 bands; AM, FM, Marine
Band, SW1 & SW2. It's a rectangular receiver taller than it is wide, and
runs off 4 C-cell batteries (or an electrical outlet adaptor). All I can
find on it for a model is "12-1433" on a label on the back, along with the
following info: 23 solid state devices, 12 transistors, 10 diodes, 1
thermistor. Does anyone have any pointers to specs, pix, manuals, whatever?


Radio Shack radios actually had TWO model names per radio: the
official model (what you cited) and a fancy name for promotional
literature. I suspect that you've got one of the "Astronaut" named
radios from the 70s. Open it up and see if there's a paper label
listing exactly what each transistor and diode is, along with a crude
schematic. On that label may be the actual radio name.
