It's an interesting and strange radio. I've had three, and having finally found a working one, I disposed of the other two which I planned to merge into a working one. It's case has become fragile over the years and you need to be sure to pack it very well. The audio is not nearly as good as it ought to be from such a large speaker and independent bass/treble controls. It's AM performance is pretty nice, and low noise. I don't think these justify their eBay prices except as collectors items. Antenna trim is a rare feature. Dial calibration is sparse, making "guess what the frequency really is" a common requirement.
