The Design
A small travel portable, receives Broadcast and Short Wave. Unusual is that SW runs from 3.8MHz (including the 75m band) to 12MHz (including the 31m band). The higher frequencies are often included in portables, but due to the tiny dials, these frequencies are not very useful.

This Object
The radio plays and is complete, but internally a few plastic parts are broken. This is the cylinder in which the tuning knob rotates, and the antenna base.
Simply-Listening in Ulrum is a second hand vinyl shop, selling elpee's, cassettes and CDs mostly. But the owner has a lot of radio's as well, and you can buy them in the shop. After I sold it, the radio was united with a similar set in different color, the 8M-390 with only MW.
