Old-fashioned enjoyment of the typical AM sound. This beautiful radio receives excellently across all bandwidths. The radio is in exceptional optical condition. Very sturdy and straight as an arrow antenna, yet retracts very smoothly. The only thing I can say is that a few small scratches are visible in the glass display, but that does not really stand out at all. It is only visible up close (see the photos). The radio plays perfectly.
