I have been mixing with you lot too long...i Now fancy a vintage radio because they look so good. Ideally I would have one that covers short wave but it seems that these are uncommon in domestic portable style. I have found a unit which takes my eye, untested and sold as is so probably doesn't work. Just wondered what folks thought of this type. Shame no shortwave, but I don't know what does have shortwave. The unit I have been is a Roberts J9871 Radio, like i say, if unknown workingness.
