I understand today's value of this radio as it is a collectable AK, but I fail to understand the appeal back in the days when it was a then consumer product and in fact a piece of furniture. The stove was the first thing that came to mind when I first saw it.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
