Vintage Realistic Patrolman SW 60 multi-band radio AM FM Shortwave Model 12-779. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
Nice looking vintage Realistic Patrolman SW 60 multi-band radio model 12-779 , works fine on 4 C batteries (not included) or plugged in on AC.. AM and FM work well, ShortWave pulls in stations from around the world (including broadcasts in Chinese I think, Spanish, and from the Czechia plus many religious stations) with varying clarity at different times of the day (...not a radio person but I assume this is normal/ no guarantee as to reception in your locale...) I also was able to tune in the weather on that band, but I don't think there is much to be found on the other frequencies... No breaks or damage to the case, the FM VHF antenna can be extended fully with no problems. The UHF antena swivels and extends just fine as shown. The dial light remains on except when you push in the light button/ dial moves well, fine tune function dial works too. Like many older radios, the volume control works, but is a little scratchy/touchy sometimes, perhaps needs cleaning, etc. Classic old radio receiver...
