Review: Retro fun, works well, nice features. Recommended! - This little guy is a lot of fun for this old fart. It's basically a tabletop AM/FM radio, but it has a nice retro look, with faux woodgrain finish and actual dials to tune to a station, adjust the volume and turn it off. The sound is good for FM radio, but not so great for the bluetooth or USB connector. There are no tone controls. Still, this is not a deal breaker for me. The extras are nice, but not necessary to us. The sound is less good when connecting a phone via Bluetooth to play music. You can plug in a thumb drive full of MP3s to play, but there's no real UI to navigate or select the files. For me, that's OK, this is not that kind of experience. I REALLY like the battery, which works well. Sometimes when cooking we need to plug in a rice cooker or something; it's really handy to be able to unplug the radio and still use it for a while. Very nice, very simple. I had to laugh when we unpacked this at Christmas; my Gen-Z daughter was like 'how do you turn it off?' and I told her 'just turn the volume all the way down.' When it clicked off she had this look of amazement on her face, like she'd just started up a Model T or something! Hilarious, and fun. Highly recommended.
Review: An Excellent Vintage Looking Radio - Love this radio and the mid century vibe it has. Sound is nice and radio feels substantial/well built. AM is spotty at best but I've had the same issue with radios three times the price. Although cabinet is plastic, it has a beautiful woodgrain finish and is not flimsy. I enjoy using bluetooth, listening to classic old time radio stations from various apps ... this works excellent. I've been enjoying Jack Benny, Phil Harris, Amos 'n Andy, The Great Gildersleeves, Life With Luigi, The Shadow, Philo Vance and so many more since purchasing this unit. The radio will play while plugged into your wall socket, with the built in rechargeable batteries, or with standard batteries installed. There's even an AUX (plug in your old Mp3 player) and memory card slot. Also buttons to record, fast forward thru tracks or go back. + in my book

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this radio made of MDF or plastic?**
A: Looking closely at it, I'd say it is plastic with a decent laminate, similar to the console in my Toyota Highlander.  The black rounded edges and corners are definitely plastic.  It is in fact a tad better laminate than I have seen on MDF.  In general, it looks better than the '50's plastic model radios; but it definitely isn't an expensive wooden gem.  I'm ok with it, for my retro den.  Thanks for making me look!

**Q: Is there a trick to getting the radio to play? I am not getting any reception for FM, AM or SW. The volume is turned up and I charged it for 2 hours.**
A: Dear friends,
How to get better reception?
1.Take the radio close to window;
2.Stretch out the antenna;
3.Stop charging when you use the radio.
Those measure will help your radio get better reception.
Thank you for your good questions.

PRUNUS

**Q: Does it play sounds for on/off or mode change? If so, how loud? Tone or voice?  Can it be set to not do it?**
A: Hello. I do not recall any sounds. But quite honestly I sent it back within 10 minutes of getting it. The audio quality was just too thin. My reason for the purchase was to listen to FM next to my chair while I was reading. Maybe in the garage on am it might work fine. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.

**Q: how many D batteries does it need?**
A: The Vintage radio needs 2 D batteries.
Thank you for your good question.
Sincerely,

PRUNUS

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic sound quality, but it broke almost immediately
*by C***T on May 13, 2024*

The unit has amazing sound quality and good volume. However, when the unit arrived in the mail the FM, AM, and SW options did not work for the first several minutes that the unit was powered on. They did start to work eventually and I chopped it up to some issue with the batteries or the parts. But, within a couple of weeks the FM, AM and SW options stopped working again. No static, just nothing. The Bluetooth still works fine, plugged in and unplugged, so I know it is not a power issue. I contacted the company asking for help but after we got past the most basic checks (is it plugged in, are lithium batteries in, etc) the customer service rep said they would check with an engineer and off a refund if they could not come up with anything. I did not want a refund and was hoping for a simple fix, but ended up with neither of those as I have not heard from the company in three weeks. That said, I guess it is a great and nice looking Bluetooth speaker but that is not what I paid for. Edit: the company did get in contact and send a replacement. I have had the new one for a couple of months and everything works fine. Same sound quality.
