Thanks everyone. The chassis is stamped R-1000 but I read conflicting accounts as to what is a a "d" model and the 1000. One site sated that a D was both bronze and silver along w/ the stamped leather. Mine has the bronze/ silver but no stamp of genuine leather. This was somewhat confusing so I though I would ask. I see there is no LW so I assume it to be a 1000.
It works great -picking up stations all over the world. The metal is in super condition too with no issues that I can see. If there is a drawback to the radio at all, it is the fact that it requires NINE "D" batteries! That is endemic to the design however and not with this particular radio.
Even with as many as I have sold, I am still learning about the radios I purchased. It took long enough just to learn basic vintage audio and throw the antique radios into the mix and I am somewhat lost. They sure are beautiful and it is amazing how the earlier radios had so much in the way of tuning capabilies. They are wonderful!
