Another of the batch of 6 radios bought April 1999. Others in the batch include two Hackers, Bush VTR330, Roberts R24 and a Boots own brand. This is a battery/mains portable with a 2 pin mains connection in the back panel. The radio works well on both battery and mains power. The only thing wrong with this radio is some of the station markings on the dial have been rubbed out with wear. The markings are printed on the top surface of the aluminium dial and are particularly vulnerable to wear.
