My aunt had one exactly like this. It really had great station pulling power with the tuned RF stage. She lived in Minnesota and passed it on to one of my cousins who still has it.
I've enjoyed these model radios for over forty years. Excellent quality. They also made and AM/FM. version with similar build quality. Thanks for sharing
I picked one of these up a few years ago to go through, but it works so well already, I'm probably going to just leave it alone. Very hot on reception! I'd dare say it's my most sensitive radio, and yes..its HEAVY! Laughably heavy for something portable. My chrome is a bit pitted but overall in the same shape..and color. That squeal you're getting is something else on that same frequency that's causing a beat frequency to appear. By turning it, you are nulling out the unwanted one since AM is rather directional. My guess is it's something in your house (power supply, LED bulbs...etc..) or another station. You could "sniff" it out with a radio, or try going outside away from the building your in to rule out inside interference or if it's a weaker station underneath the louder one. Thanks for sharing!
What do those angles mean? What is this? My name is igor belevich . I am 40. I live in belarus. I listen to analog sw,mw-am radio sony icf 704 s. I received several north american christian radio stations on sw 31 meter band,and sw and mw stations from other countries in belarus. On mw ,am i cannot receive stations from usa ,unfortunately. Can you write letters to any american am stations and ask them to broadcast on am to belarus? Or is it impossible? I can receive usa only on sw in belarus. In 2001,more than 20 years ago i heard more sw,mw,am stations. Most stopped broadcasting,unfortunately.
Are you talking about the 2 triangles between “60 and 70” and between “110 and 130” ? If so, those were the old civil defense frequencies that were used in the 50s and early 60s in the event of like a nuclear attack. Apparently, if there was like an attack on United States. You would tune your radios to 640 or 1240.

I really would like to get the AM/FM version of this. I love this radio a lot.

Yeah, this radio is absolutely phenomenal for picking up stuff especially at night
