This Object

The radio is dirty and the leatherette casing is open in some places. I repaired the reception, but still sometimes the sound drops away because of bad switch contacts. Also, the Long Wave ferrite rod does not operate, the volume changes spontaneously, and the case is in bad condition. In summary, a playing wreck.

The radio already came with a little note in it ,explaining the malfunctioning of the antenna. I ran the knob through my ultrasonic cleanser.
