This is my daily AM listening radio. Sony SRF-A100. Runs on 3 AA batteries. No more AM Stereo, but it still makes a nice wide band AM hi-fi mono presentation! Especially when I plug in a 3.5mm phone plug to RCA outs and hook it up to the big stereo. Has a synchronous AM detector, which is almost like tuning an FM radio the way it captures the AM signal and locks onto it.
