When listing, we connected it to an outlet and an external antenna to check that it was working, and confirmed that it could receive radio broadcasts such as NHK. The reception is generally good. However, please use the operation as a reference only. The exterior is made entirely of plastic, but there is no noticeable damage or cracks, and considering the year, I think it is in pretty good condition. The dial on the top plate is transparent and in good condition. There is rust on the front plating. The white switches on the top plate are the power switch and the sound quality change switch, and they are working properly. When you pull out the volume knob, there is a chip in the plastic in one place, but it is not visible when the knob is inserted. The magic eye seems to be lit normally. There is a maintenance note written by the deceased on the back cover. All my products are 100% Authentic. Saturday, Sunday and National holidays. International Buyers – Please Note.
