Know before you buy
This vintage Sony radio is designed to be plugged into a standard wall outlet. Please check the power cord and plug type upon arrival to ensure it is compatible with your local electrical standards.
As an analog device, the reception quality will depend on your local signal strength and the positioning of the antenna. While it offers a warm, authentic sound, it may not match the interference-free clarity of modern digital or internet-based radios.
No, this is a strictly analog vintage unit. It does not feature auxiliary inputs, Bluetooth, or USB connectivity, so it is intended solely for listening to traditional AM/FM broadcasts.
The wood case is durable, but it should be kept away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent warping or fading. A simple wipe-down with a soft, dry cloth is sufficient to keep the finish looking its best.
The unit measures 13x9x5 inches. Its compact footprint makes it well-suited for most bedside tables, bookshelves, or desks without taking up excessive space.
