Compact 9-band FM-MW-SW radio with tone adjustment. - Brand: National - Model: RF-009 - Bands: FM-MW-SW - Tone Adjustment: HIGH/LOW - Power: ON/OFF Thank you for viewing. The radio works with two AA batteries, but sometimes the connection is poor and it may not power on unless the batteries are reseated. The exterior has minor scratches from age, and as you can see in the images, the antenna tip is slightly bent. It has a retro feel and a good appearance for interior decoration. Naturally, it's no longer available new, making it a rare item.
