Ever use one of these (Sony ICF-PRO80)
 

I just got this. These came out several years ago and I wanted one but never
got the chance. They suffer from bad capacitors after several years but if
they are replaced these are real performers. Of course there are probably
better compacts out now but these are never the less neat radios and I
thought it would be a nice addition to my collection and something I allways
wanted and will use.
Heres some pics for those that have never seen one:
