It featured a wooden cabinet with a distinctive curved front panel and a large dial that doubled as a speaker grille. The radio had several tuning bands, including short, medium, and long waves, as well as FM. It also had a monaural input for a phonograph player.The Traviata 4.121A was well-regarded for its sound quality, particularly for its rich, detailed bass response. It was also known for its durability and solid construction, with a heavy-duty transformer and high-quality capacitors. The radio remains a sought-after collector's item today, appreciated for its aesthetics as well as its audio performance.
