The Panasonic RF-088
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Jeff McMahon who writes:
"This vintage Panasonic RF-088 8-Channel Preset radio selling on eBay [see above] seems rather rare. In fact, I've never seen one."
I haven't seen one either, Jeff. Appears to be pretty compact. At first, I was curious how an analog radio could have so many presets until I took a peek at the top of the radio.
Each preset is individually tuned. Hard to believe such a compact radio has a total of eight tuning mechanisms! Two presets are designated for FM, two for AM and four presets can be either. Pretty clever! Since it's a Panasonic, I bet it's a sensitive little portable.
At $59.80 US shipped, I'm sure someone will snag it.
