Plus you\'ll see the rare Bulova models in both plastic and leather--in the box! All three Mitchells are here too, and the original Mitchell box. Even the ultra-rare Mantola box is here along with a sweet red Mantola. See inside one of the earliest TR-1s ever found. And see a rare original Regency artist rendering of a pre-production TR-1 showing the prototype dial. Both of the original TR-1 boxes are here, as well as an original Regency brand 22 1/2 volt battery, and the original Regency earphone for the TR-1. You\'ll see the different leather case styles used by Regency, and even the boxes the cases came in. There\'s vintage advertising for the TR-1 here too. And included in these pages are complete reproductions of the original TR-1 color brochure and the original owner\'s manual. This is not a mass-market book. It is a small specialty book--a labor of love in the hobby that wouldn\'t even exist without the author\'s personal desire to share with other collectors.
