leather, the brass parts are gold-plated. The front grille is made of perforated metal.
The housing is rather thin and has rounded shape making it a really stylish design
object. The cabinet body opens in two parts exhibiting the electronic circuit with
the speaker, and the battery compartments. The housing has a shiny aspect without
damage, There is a stand on the back of the radio to keep it upright and an earphone
socket. All of this makes the radio for a very rich-looking "pocketbook" radio. This model
