Not like it used to be
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s just ok. The one I had as a teen was much better. Hard to tune in a station. You have to go really slow and then still it’s staticky.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for hurricanes should do fine for this. Was looking for something a little better but could not find it any where. O, K for the price. Thoughts where on what was available in the 60's and 70's.

Very disappointed with transistor radio
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This radio has been a disappointment. Does not pick up stations very well and the tuning is not very fine as you get station wandering/distortion.

||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sometimes you just need a radio. Works good. It does what you expect it to do. Nothing to rite home about...it works and sounds OK.
I would recommend this to a friendCheaper then previous model!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ok radio. Reception can be sketchy to get like ESPN Sports. Previous model was far superior and discounted likely they lasted so well. Volume button decays with time. Bought 3 to get a good one (returned other 2). However is very handy. PLEASE REMAKE THE SILVER MODEL.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Big mistake thinking that the "Sony" name would translate into quality. I ended up returning the item the next day because of it's poor reception and static.

Good for the price
