This Radio has a nice appearance and works good. It is hard to believe that in the past 58 years this Radio has traveled with me from Japan throughout Micronesia, the USA, South America, and the Caribbean. The Bahamian Immigration and Customs once made me take the radio apart during a stop in Nassau on my way to Andros Island. They turned it on removed the battery and play the sound and then affixed their inspection approval sticker on the back of the leather case. The radio fits in a shirr pocket. The little whip antenna for the short wave band is missing. I kept the Bahamian Inspection Sticker for the next owner to dispose of. Note: The interior photos were taken on April 25, 2019 and is the first time I have taken the cover off since I bought it.
