The Zenith "Royal Regent" measured 2¾" x 1¾" x ⅝" thick, and weighed 2½ oz. with batteries. The case is polished aluminum front and back.

The vertical rectangular microphone grill was in the front center of the case with the Zenith logo near the brown strip to its left.

The receiver cord plugs into the 3-pin jack (left side near top).
