What it is:
------------
It's an AM transitor radio made in imitation of a Sony model that was popular in the late 1950's and early 1960's, made as a prop for Poser.  For those of you who aren't old enough to remember, pocket transistor radios used to be incredibly cool and EVERYONE wanted one - they were the "I-Pods" of their day. 

The little wire thing going around the bottom is actually the antenna - it unfolds backwards about sixty degrees or so with a morph.  This was so that the radio could be set on a table standing up.  The tuner dial is also adjustable (click on the tuner, it also has a morph).  This way, you can make it look like your Poser characters are listening to a specific station (assuming this is important to a render).

What you can do with it:
------------------------
1) You're free to use this prop in any render, non-commericial or commercial.
2) You may not sell the model itself, either individually or as part of a compilation.
3) If you re-post this model on your website or as part of a free compilation, the archive must include this readme file.

How to use it:
--------------
Extract the enclosed files to your /runtime folder.  The Radio will be listed under "Miscellaneous" in your prop folder.  The model will work with pretty much any version of poser, though Poser4 and older versions will have to load the prop, then re-save it to have a picture in the directory.

Once you have the prop loaded, you can use the Material Room to change the color of the plastic - like most things plastic, these little radios came in several colors.  Black was common, but so was red and blue.  Just select the "PLASTIC" material, and set the new color that you want.  

Note also that the radio is scaled to poser people (as one would expect) and starts on the ground.  This means that it is TINY and it is at your character's feet when you load it - just drag it around wherever you need it.  If you need it larger, just use the 'Scale' dial.
