Lloyd's AM/FM/SW Japanese tube radio

Many people associate the Lloyd's brand with cheap solid state stereos and radios from the '70's and '80's; but, they did import some cheap tube radios during the '60's.

This radio looks to be from the early-to-mid '60's and is very long. The tubes are Toshiba-branded; but, I don't know if they actually built this radio. The radio has reception; but, the volume is very weak and distorted. So, it probably has leaky coupling capacitors in the audio circuit. Those old grey Japanese paper-in-oil capacitors are usually very leaky by now.
