Dang, that was a good radio...the SW was strong, and every nught,
before turning in, I'd flip it on, scroll through the SW1 band,
listening to a few dozen station for about 15 minutes....but sadly she
died on me, and I threw it away...
I bught a Grundig Yachtboy......what a pieve of crap....I'm lucky to
receive 2 - 3 stations, usually jesus stations...nowhere near the
reception power of the 30 year old Panasonic....
Maybe i can snag one off of ebay...

It is a very cool radio. I found one at a yard sale a year ago for 6
bucks. They do show up on Ebay, I just saw one sell there for $114.00 !
I have several old portables, including a Blaupunkt "Derby Deluxe". The
sound on them is so much better than todays offerings. The Blaupunkt
makes my CC Radio+ sound very bad. Good luck finding one,
