## Description

FM AM Radio Portable Shortwave Radio for Home and Elderly

Review: I love the look of this retro radio. It’s plastic I guess as other buyers have pointed out but it looks like wood and has some weight to it, feels very solid. I knew from reviews before buying it that it wasn’t real wood, that wasn’t a deal breaker for me and I’m glad I didn’t let that sway me from buying it. One of the deciding factors for me buying it was the fact that it can be plugged in but also run on batteries. I live in Florida and you know hurricanes, so for me that was a plus. You never know when that could come in handy. It was extremely easy to set up literally plugged it in, my phone connected immediately and turned on the knob on the radio and was listening to music within seconds. It found radio stations with no problem that came in good without the antenna up at all, for me I don’t listen to the radio really just my Bluetooth but good that it picks up stations clearly. It sounds good. I mean probably not house party loud good but I just want to listen to music at a reasonable volume and chill, also radios or stereos with the loud thumping bass isn’t for me as it is for some people, gives me a headache, and this seems good in that regard too.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this radio made of MDF or plastic?**
A: Looking closely at it, I'd say it is plastic with a decent laminate, similar to the console in my Toyota Highlander.  The black rounded edges and corners are definitely plastic.  It is in fact a tad better laminate than I have seen on MDF.  In general, it looks better than the '50's plastic model radios; but it definitely isn't an expensive wooden gem.  I'm ok with it, for my retro den.  Thanks for making me look!

**Q: Is there a trick to getting the radio to play? I am not getting any reception for FM, AM or SW. The volume is turned up and I charged it for 2 hours.**
A: Dear friends,
How to get better reception?
1.Take the radio close to window;
2.Stretch out the antenna;
3.Stop charging when you use the radio.
Those measure will help your radio get better reception.
Thank you for your good questions.

PRUNUS

**Q: Does it play sounds for on/off or mode change? If so, how loud? Tone or voice?  Can it be set to not do it?**
A: Hello. I do not recall any sounds. But quite honestly I sent it back within 10 minutes of getting it. The audio quality was just too thin. My reason for the purchase was to listen to FM next to my chair while I was reading. Maybe in the garage on am it might work fine. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.

**Q: how many D batteries does it need?**
A: The Vintage radio needs 2 D batteries.
Thank you for your good question.
Sincerely,

PRUNUS

works good right out of the box..very clear sound....just got it this evening so I'm reading all the instructions . You have to dial in the stations by hand.. which is vintage .. no preset station options...vintage...rechargeable batteries and push buttons I don't need....not vintage...but overall it has a nice clear sound and looks vintage...I will keep it.
