Panasonic RF-505

Some help here as I am new to collecting..



Scored this radio for a 1$. Works perfectly. Problem is I think it's ugly lol.
As ugly as I find it the FM/AM reception on it is superb and it works flawlessly.
Definitely not a true pocket radio unless you rip your pockets open to fit it.

Lots of AF and bass for the size when using the internal speaker. This little rig actually puts out enough audio to fill a few rooms when working and you'd have no idea you were listening to a tiny speaker and not a large boombox.

So here's my question.. Is this worth anything? I can't imagine this thing is collectable besides for personal use. It's so ugly in my opinion. What were they thinking putting round dials in portables back then?

Here's the back side if interested in this little eye sore..




I dunno, maybe I am too young, but this thing is ugly. The sad part is that it picks up stations better than most antique transistorized portables I have owned lol. Got to love Panasonic for releasing some strange units that pull in signals like they are starving
