Review on Studebaker SB2003 Retro Portable AM/FM Radio (Red/Black) by Richard Muncy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beauty with GREAT sound!

I was looking for a small vintage "transistor radio" to replace my 30 year old small bathroom radio. Revain had a few options and I finally settled on this one. When I received it and opened the box I was surprised and a little disappointed because it was MUCH bigger than I wanted. I should have looked at the details before ordering as the measurements are clearly stated there. It was my fault for not looking, but I just thought all "transistor radios" were as small as my old one. So when I plugged it in (it also runs on 4C batteries which I use as I don't like sticking out wires) and plugged in I was shocked and VERY happy with it! The sound coming out of this radio is AMAZING! Sounds like a big stereo! I can set many channels without interference. This radio has a retro look and is EXACTLY what I was looking for! It is very durable and lightweight. With my old radio, I had my fingers crossed to set it up, but it's so easy to set up. Although it was bigger than I wanted, it turned out to be perfect for me! I really look forward to turning it on in the morning while I get ready. This radio is AWESOME!
