Custom Bundle:Yes Country/Region of Manufacture:Japan Model:Panasonic RF-5000 Color:Black Brand:Panasonic Condition:Everything works except the band-specific lights for SW2,4,6. I believe, but cannot be certain, that this is a contact problem, not failed lights. Overall, excellent condition. Works with batteries or plug-in. Antennas all straight and in excellent working condition. Type:Desktop
There is an additional AM antenna stored with the A/C cord. All accessories found on the original are included : 1) Schematic, in excellent condition, for the radio. 2) Instruction Manual 3) Geographic Chart for reception locations around the world 4) The Commemorative Medal heralding “the best portable in the world” 5) Panasonic Catalogue showing this radio with its features The radio will have to be used a while to provide smoother operation. Because it’s been used very little, the band push-buttons may need to be pushed more than once to make good contact but once on, no further fiddling is required. The speakers are very realistic and provide great fidelity. I’ve always had an affinity for the RF5000 because it is such a superior electro-mechanical device. The flywheel tuning is fun to use, and this unit is definitely the best one of the five RF5000’s that I’ve owned in my lifetime.
