Knight-Kit Star Roamer..The Radio looks excellent and comes with original box and manual. Also has a 24 hour short wave schedule pamphlet that comes with it. The power comes on, but I am not sure if it works properly because I don't know how to use it. I pasted some information I found below from this website:
https://people.ohio.edu/postr/bapix/StarRmr.htm
The Knight-Kit "Star Roamer" from Allied Radio is a transformer-operated, single-conversion, general coverage receiver usin...g 4 tubes and covering 200KHz to 400 KHz and 550 KHz through 30 MHz in 5 bands . This minimalist superhet receiver also uses a selenium rectifier and one diode each for detector and noise limiting. The audio preamp tube is a dual triode 12AX7. Audio output is either a 6AR5 or 6AK6. The other tubes are a 6BE6 converter and a 6HR6 IF amplifier. The Star Roamer was a very popular receiver. Quite a few are still in existence. It was sold for most of the decade of the1960's.
