Magnavox aw-100 was the America\'s first (If not world\'s first) transistor AM/SW1/SW2 shortwave high end radio. One of the only first three transistor radios made in America by Magnavox. Exquisitely made with the best parts(US high grade made Air Variable Capacitors and good sized speakers) and material like brass and chrome. It was very expensive of its day, otherwise there would be no need for later, cheaper, made in Japan, radio models.
This radio is very sensitive, I listened to it one evening and impressed with the ultra sensitivity and selectivity. AM radio stations in the distance like Milky-Way stars, each jumps out like grass-hoppers and disappears with the slightest turn of the turning knob. Note: I used a 9V DC lab power supply to listen to this radio(lab power supply is not included in this listing), the ex-owner may have converted this radio\'s mono-earphone socket for outboard 9V, see hand-writings in the photo with back cover opened.
This radio is decent clean and working as in the photos. There are 2-3 dings on the speaker grill that can be seen in the photos. As in any vintage radios, it would benefit from further cleaning and paper-capacitor and electrolytic capacitor replacement. No returns, please act accordingly.
