For a similar amount of money one can buy a 48-482, with AM, FM, and SW. It is a lot more versatile radio, a fine performer, and, being a table model, is more practical in most modern homes. I love the one I have restored. When I first moved from Rhode Island to Tennessee, and was waiting for sixteen months to get connected to the internet, it was my main source of entertainment and news. I played it for hours every day. Since then I have bought 2 more complete radios, as well as a chassis. Someday I'm going to refurbish at least one more of these fine radios.
