Sound sample	PLAY SOUND Paradise by the dial light…. Unfortunately this classical piece is too long for GRC, but this tiny fragment has the voices of both our corpulent hero of rock Meat Loaf, and of his briljant, well-voiced and well-shaped companion Ellen Foley. Meat Loaf became no less than legendary with this single song in 1977. In 2007, Meat played in Amsterdam.

This Object

Normally, pressing the L and U wave switches together will activate the pickup or tape entry. I think there is something wrong with this switch, because neither LW nor FM works, while MW and SW operate normally. The whip antenna is broken.
