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: Pretty Retro looking solid radio - I love the look of this retro radio. It’s plastic I guess as other buyers have pointed out but it looks like wood and has some weight to it, feels very solid. I knew from reviews before buying it that it wasn’t real wood, that wasn’t a deal breaker for me and I’m glad I didn’t let that sway me from buying it. One of the deciding factors for me buying it was the fact that it can be plugged in but also run on batteries. I live in Florida and you know hurricanes, so for me that was a plus. You never know when that could come in handy. It was extremely easy to set up literally plugged it in, my phone connected immediately and turned on the knob on the radio and was listening to music within seconds. It found radio stations with no problem that came in good without the antenna up at all, for me I don’t listen to the radio really just my Bluetooth but good that it picks up stations clearly. It sounds good. I mean probably not house party loud good but I just want to listen to music at a reasonable volume and chill, also radios or stereos with the loud thumping bass isn’t for me as it is for some people, gives me a headache, and this seems good in that regard too.

## 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent Vintage Looking Radio
*by T***D on August 25, 2025*

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
