Description from the seller

Fully refurbished superheterodyne radio receiver with 6 wavebands.

Namely: LW: 150 - 420 kHz. MW: 517 - 1620 kHz. SW1: 5.94 - 9.38 MHz .SW2: 9.37 - 13.95 MHz.
SW3: 11.54 - 17.65 MHz. SW4: 17.65 - 26.8 MHz.

During the refurbishment, all defective components, as well as those likely to cause problems in the future, were replaced.

The tone is adjusted using the left-hand knob. When this knob is pulled out, the radio switches to phono mode. The newly installed Bluetooth receiver is also switched on, allowing music and other audio to be streamed from other devices. The sound quality is excellent.

The cabinet is made of brown bakelite, is virtually undamaged, and still has a beautiful shine.
Depending on the region (country), reception can be reasonably good with a short antenna.
