This radio had a serious case of leaking batteries which has spread to the front aluminium grille where a small patch has oxidized completely. A good wash sorted that out. The radio doesn't work very well, when switched on it would work for a few seconds then go off. Adjusting a small pot inside made it work (probably output transistor bias adjustment) but not very satisfactory. Has possibilities though.
