The radio still works, but the tape mechanism is well & truly gonesky. It seems to have rusted during the year the lion kingdom was in a 1st floor apartment. The plastic buttons are remarkably still intact. The radio is outstanding. The lion kingdom used it from 1991-2000. The cheapest modern radios are still over $10. It will always require the useless tape section for an audio amplifier. An alternative audio amplifier would take more space or cost over $10.

The idea was to hook it to the rover's speaker for July 4 & drive it down to the fireworks. Old fashioned radio is much more reliable than trying to get the soundtrack on the lion kingdom's ghetto phone plan, but helas, all the fireworks within rover range are gone for good.
