Here is a recent find of mine that some radio collectors may enjoy. I am not very familiar with these so I would appreciate if someone could tell me if this is a more rare and collectable model. It seems to have been repainted, but I am not sure. It does seem to work like it should. I am not sure what the buttons on the bottom middle should do though.
Thank you in advance my friends and have an awesome evening! : )
