Nice performing little table model AM / Shortwave. The entire front grill / dial cover is one piece of molded clear plastic. Even the dial "needle" is clear plastic. There were 18 caps to be replaced, and some took MacGyver like skills to reach. But the biggest challenge? Getting a dollup of 60 year old pink nail polish off of that fragile clear plastic dial cover! Icon_lol
