Opened it up at the show, oh crap corrodeedoodle battery. But...you'll notice it's rusted, not corroded. It's a carbon-zinc cell, which saved the radio from death. Put a new battery in, works pretty good but certainly needs some new caps and a tuneup.

It's been a while since I've seen a carbon cell.

A long piece of wire jammed into the antenna hole will work just as well for FM.
