The Panasonic RF-088<\/p><\/div>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor Jeff McMahon<\/a> who writes:<\/p>\n

“This vintage Panasonic RF-088 8-Channel Preset radio selling on eBay [see above] seems rather rare. In fact, I’ve never seen one.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Each preset is individually tuned. Hard to believe such a compact radio has a total of eight tuning mechanisms! Two presets\u00a0are 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.<\/p>\n

At $59.80 US shipped<\/a>, I’m sure someone will snag it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
