The Design

Long ago radios were sold in colorful boxes, but this radio came in this blister wrap you can only destroy, not open.

This funny gem surely has a lot of bands: 10 SW bands, AM, FM, and two bands for television sound. It is unfortunate that the receiving quality and dial calibration are deplorable. But what else can be expected for a brand new radio under seven euros?

The radio was sold under various brands, but probably produced by Kchibo in China.

This Object

I gave the radio away to a poor guy who didn't have a radio.
