Recently tested and working with the battery holder, not with an adapter. Receiving on all bands, strong, clear reception on AM and FM. Shortwave stations receive strong signals. Did not receive SW transmissions clearly; could be due to time of day, or few stations transmitting. Might be my location (Las Vegas). The battery holder is very clean with no corrosion. There is some minor loss of chrome on the dial bezel as seen in the pictures. The log book has some minor notations in the back from the previous owner. The station dial turns freely as does the time wheel on the inner cover. A very nice example ready to enjoy. or just display.
