Vintage RadioShack AM/FM/TV Sound Portable Pocket Radio
This is a handheld portable radio manufactured by RadioShack, likely dating from the 1990s or early 2000s. The device is constructed from matte black molded plastic and features an vertical orientation. The top face contains a clear plastic window displaying analog tuning scales for FM (88-108 MHz), AM (530-1700 kHz), and legacy analog TV sound bands (Channels 2 through 13), though TV audio functions are largely obsolete following the digital transition. Below the dial is a large integrated speaker grille. The RadioShack logo is embossed in silver-tone lettering at the bottom. A side-mounted thumbwheel controls volume/power, and a tuning dial is visible on the opposite side. Condition is used; the clear dial cover shows significant surface scratches and scuffing, and there is a large white 'Savers' thrift store price sticker ($4.99) adhered directly to the speaker grille which may leave adhesive residue. The plastic casing appears intact without major cracks, showing typical edge wear for a consumer electronic of this age. It likely operates on two AA batteries and includes a built-in earphone jack and a telescopic antenna (partially visible).
