Ok. Everything opens with a direct link. Yes. As Arran said, this is a transistor radio. It is a more expensive version of the simplified Accord Penguin U60, which I also reviewed. In my opinion, this is a significantly overpriced product, you need to look at Ebay.
I did a comparative test of the tube Penguin U59 and the transistor Penguin U60 and the tube version won by a huge margin in all parameters.

Sorry, there are no English subtitles here yet, but I will install them in an hour.

Arran

I bought my McIntosh amp on Kijiji. Went to cross the border to pick it up and pay.
(cross of our Rte 87 to your Rte 15 to Montreal, it was a park 1 mile from the border).
Got detained by border guards for an hour with partial car disassembly and full patdown, plus some strange soul-saving talk from the male borderguard about my attitude towards gun ownership plus whether I owned a gun or not, and why not.
They let me go, I got late, but the people leaved nearby and they waited.
(They took my phone so I could not even phone them).
This was the fall of 2016.
So, this was my one time Kijiji purchase.

That's enough for me. I may not have completed that sale. Electronics nuts may appear very fishy to law enforcement. When I was in heavy astronomy mode a friend and I got a good going over when we emerged from a forest onto to the road with a large telescope and our gear around 4 am. Kept looking through our stuff. Who else would be out in a field til that hour, must be druggies or those big tubes could be bazookas. Never thought of my self as that much off an oddball. I see Kiiji stuff. I really try to avoid anything but in person purchases it also helps me cut down on bring stuff into the house. Paul B.
