I've just realised this radio of mine might be classed as vintage!

I won it in a competition held by BBC Radio Lancashire, called Radio Goes To Town. They had a mobile studio set up on Blackpool prom, where people could go inside and enter the competition. They were publicising the new RDS service!

And I won! It's a Sony ICF-M300L.

It has been my bathroom radio for thirty years, and has also accompanied me on every overnight trip away, being a radio alarm clock aswell.

I wonder how many sets of batteries it's had?!
