I don't recall the model now, it's wrapped up and boxed at the back of my workshop, from what I recall, it covered LW/MW/FM band, had about three short wave bands. Been years since it's been powered up, probably needs a new set of electrolytic caps by now and re aligning, one day I'll dig it out, was a nice readio in it's hey day.
