This B3X00U is quite sensitive, it works quite well already with the built in antenna's: ferrite rod for Long/Medium Wave, and plate antenna for Short Wave. So, all one needs to do after buying it, is carry it home, put the plug in socket, and turn on to play.
The construction is extremely simple: the chassis, a PCB, is mounted to the front, as is the speaker and tuning mechanism. To access the internal parts, all one needs to do is remove the back cover.

The aluminium strips are almost always gone. I ordered a roll of nickle strip from Ali to replace these decorative strips. I never worked with nickle before, but it turned out to be quite easy. The very thin strip can even be cut into shape with scissors (I can't garantee sharpness after repeated nickle cutting, so use and old pair). I glued the strips with white hobby glue.
The case was very dull, but I restored a memory of the shine with Meubeline.
