![]() ![]() As for the rest of the radio’s condition – it’s really nice. It would probably have helped to adjust the antenna, but I was afraid to – it has a bend when it’s extended more than 22” and a copper piece is visible on the outside of the anenna at that point – I’d guess it should be an inside support. I think there’s probably some extra step to tuning these in that I don’t know. The dial indicator didn’t move on this one. I could also hear static and at least one real signal on all the other bands except SW 2-9. Reception seems good-I was able to get my favorite FM station that I can’t usually receive in the house. I did test the radio and it works well in both AC and DC. The handle flips down and there are two large knobs on one side – not sure what they do either. At the top, there’s another dial with a symbol I don’t understand and rectangular button marked “SW Band Spread” and a sliding knob that looks like it may be designed to adjust amplification. Also at top is a push-in dial light – it works but doesn’t stay depressed so the light won’t remain on. Above that is a dial ranging from 1-5 and a sliding control beside it. Tuning knob at lower left front and an SW1-Spread tuning knob above. Switch between these formats with the buttons on top, and you can adjust the volume, bass, treble with the dials on top front. To the left is a separate framed dials marked SW 2-9. There are five dials – LW, SW1 AM and FM. It’s a portable radio, but I’m not sure how far you’d want to carry it because it's large and heavy– measures 9 ¾”:m high 17” wide and 5” deep at bottom (slightly tapers toward top).
