📻 Sylvania Retro Style Portable CD Boombox with AM/FM Radio: Genuine Vintage Appeal Review

I bought this item for the looks rather than the quality but I was surprised by the quality of the item. The sound is really very pleasant. I can set it up in my bedroom and barely crank the volume and hear crystal clear sound throughout the house. It's a good weight and size and is a really good find. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it doesn't have an antenna so I can get a better reception of my favorite station.

Doesn't show radio stations on small front screen, can't tell which station is playing. As long as it is installed in the station and stays there, but if I want to change it, it's hard to tell which one it goes to. The buttons are awkward and not on the front where it's easier for me to use them where I need to set them. I won't go back but I will be more careful in the future.

It does the job at a reasonable price but is difficult to tune in, especially on weak stations like NPR. Focusing dial markers (located on the right rear) make tuning difficult the station you want The front display should be changed to show the channel frequencies, even if it's a few bucks more - either that or a slide rule window to show which AM/FM band frequencies you're in. The CD player is good for the price.
