Works OK though tuning "feel" is 'orrible and nothing like a normal set- more like something with heavy duty AFC you can't turn off even on AM.
This appears to be a feature of DSP radios with an analogue dial, the frequency selection is carried out in discrete steps.

I picked up an AM/FM battery-mains portable with similar design at a Charity shop.
I just picked up a battery only radio at a charity with a similar tuning problem, the make was Radiola.
