I have a n ICF-36 (identical radio with two additional bands for the two former VHF tv bands) I found in the dumpster at a hardware store where I used to work. It worked so I decided to clean it up. It had a brown smear on it (NOT mud...idk how or why...) but it washed off. Extremely tough radio. Only issue is the band switch is very touchy loose in the FM detent and VHF-lo picks up the lower half of the FM band. Reception is great even missing half the antenna!
I bought the same radio for $1.00 in a thrift store. It was brand new. I love this radio. Very good sound for it's size and the batteries last like 80 hours. Good AM reception. I have got many stations at night on the AM band from far away. FM is good too.
You mentioned poor reception in your location but failed to do the normal thing to improve reception which is to adjust the antenna orientation which is why it is able to swivel.
@garebearaz Yes you may be right but actually when the station is perfectly tuned there is an led indicator at the top thanks for watching please subscribe
Where do you buy one ? I've tried all the usual places. I'll order one if I can get someone to ship it but only if they don't try to jack the price up.
thx, i'm ordering now from Fry's. $20. u asked for comments, this could have been done in 2 or 3 mins, eidt it down and put a limit of 2:00 or 2:30 and see how it comes out

I like this radio for the office at work! How much did you pay for it? What stores sell this radio?
If you want to plug in this radio do you have to remove the batteries or can you just leave them in
