I got one for my 12th birthday too. My mother worked for Philips so 3 guesses as to the manufacturer. Can't remember the model though. I do remember it was rectangular and small enough to fit on my desk. I used to listen to Radio Luxembourg 208 on medium wave and the reception was never the best but I didn't care.

Transistor radios, from my conception of them, were 3-4 inches wide and 8 inches in length.

My mother had her own in the kitchen and compared to hers mine was a little one.

I had one that my Grandma gave my parents when I was 11. My parents gave it to me due to my radio habits.
