Conar (NRI) kit radio

[bigmsound]

Conar and NRI were brand names of electronics kits put out by the N R I (National Radio Institute) correspondence course during the 1950's & 60's. NRI was heavilly advertised in Popular Electronics magazines amongst other publications during that time period. The cabinet used in that kit looks like it
came from an old Zenith tube table radio and the chassis was retrofitted to fit properly. NRI probably purchased a large amount of old Zenith cabinets in bulk and modified them.
