This mid-century tabletop radio housing is supplied as a single 1:87 (HO) master STL designed for hobbyists, diorama builders and model railroaders. Modeled from a retro reference, the housing includes a centered rectangular dial window, two large flank knobs, a row of three small rotary knobs, two red push-buttons at lower left/right, a horizontal row of rectangular push/slide buttons, chrome trim banding and vertical fluted ribs on the side panels. Four short cylindrical feet support the cabinet. The outer cabinet only is provided — internal electronics, speaker cavities and rear fasteners are intentionally not modeled.
The HO master is intended to drop directly into layouts and small-scale scenes. Print at 0.10–0.15 mm layer height with a 0.4 mm nozzle for crisp knobs and trim. The dial window recess accepts clear resin or gloss varnish to simulate glass. Mask and paint chrome bands and push-buttons for authentic mid-century finishes. We include scaling guidance so you can rescale the single master to other popular scales; do not expect multiple scale STLs in this purchase. Note: the upper-right quadrant of the photographed subject was occluded; reconstruction used symmetrical cues and is flagged UNKNOWN where details are uncertain.
Available railroad scales: Z (1:220), N (1:160), HO (1:87.1), S (1:64), O (1:48)
