The 380 has an extra shortwave/police band instead of pre-war FM.
As a random thought do you happen to have any old 49mhz walkie talkies around? Might be good for a transmitter  |
Yes, this radio chassis seems to have some issues as well unfortunately, the Preset buttons are broken (the slider bar that the preset buttons ride on to make the preset buttons pop in and out is broken), and the power switch push button sticks for some reason.
Other than that and the fact that one of the original filter caps and the power cord was replaced the radio is pretty much unmolested, the wooden cabinet is in near mint condition and the original push buttons are still in minty condition with their original call letter tags still intact.
The only thing that's missing is the dial string and the springs for them, which I think I can get the springs at the hardware store or maybe at AES.
