I have owned this for 12 years, It works beautifully. The dial is an amber in color when on, inside the dial it has 4 settings:
Shortwave, Standard Broadcast, Mega Cycles & Kilo Cycles, I have no idea what all those mean and cannot find any info on this piece, I would love to know what year this was made and some history on it. The tag on the inside of the cabinet says Model 211, I have searched the internet with no such luck.
