Another bargain radio from a car-boot sale. The radio was covered in grease and nicotene stains and played ok when I put a battery in it. The vendor wanted £2 for it and for once I didn't try to barter with him. The radio cleaned up easily, the plastic case being unmarked and the chrome polished up a treat. I've used this radio for a while now and am impressed by it's performance and the fact that it is very economical on batteries. Unusually for a late 60's radio VHF goes all the way to 108.
