A nice find at a car-boot sale. The picture makes it look cleaner than it is. Covered in dust when I bought it and all the chrome needs polishing. Just a couple of things wrong with it. Firstly the volume control knob is missing and a chrome strip on top with On/Off, SW, MW, LW, FM is missing. The telescopic aerial is perfect, which is unusual for a radio that looks like it has spent a large part of it's life in a garage. I tried it when I got home and what an amazingly good sounding radio! On Classic FM the sound is just amazing.
