I'll have to do that - it skips around using the tuning knob.

I found that radio at a thrift store with no price on it - the lady at the counter says "It sure looks like it uses a *lot* of batteries - $5." I reach in my pocket and start to tell her "why don't you take at least ten for it," but before I could say much she knocks a dollar off "to make sure I'm happy with it." Well, God bless her, I certainly am.

I had two. last one I bought for $40 and it was like new. My old one has been going strong for ten years. I sold the newer looking one to a friend that wanted one for $75 I did pick up the RS powered antenna for a couple of bucks awhile back. Hooked up to a long wire it does make fine tuning the station much better.
