I absolutely love the 2" B&W picture on these, so clear and when you turn it off, the picture collapses to a dot like the sets of old.

Here is a picture of it from the auction listing. This set is cosmetically mint including the fitted carry case and yes i have the snap on front cover and carry strap.

Part of it, too, in MY case, especially, could be trying to use "Island-Sized ARTHRITIC paws" on such a teeny-tiny tuning knob.... (grin)
