This radio was manufactured and sold around 1958. It's powered by a 006P 9V layered dry cell battery. The sensitivity is good. I believe you should be able to receive the broadcasting stations that cover this radio's location without any problems. The volume and tuning dials are also smooth, considering the many years that have passed. In terms of appearance, there are scratches and dirt on the speaker grill and body. Please understand and acknowledge that this radio has a used feel due to the passage of many years. Please purchase it as an antique radio collection rather than for everyday use.
