The Design

At some time in the past, the radio had a lid covering the dial and knobs. With the lid (undoubtedly decorated with a world map and time conversion dial!) opened, the height of the radio was about 43cm! The radio features a dial light, switchable AFC, and an S-meter. The antenna connection is not by a jack or plug, but uses a screw.

Condition	4.
Disposed	Scrapped 5/2002.

This Object

Little reminds of its glamourous past. The lid is gone, the whip antenna is gone, the battery lid is gone, there are holes in the back. It still played before I scrapped it.
