    Description

    For sale is a Realistic Astronaut-8 portable 8-band radio. Built from 1970 to 1972, this radio was among the most advanced portable consumer radios of its time.
    It's in great cosmetic & functional shape. All features are tested working: AM, Medium Wave, Short Wave 1&2, VHF 1&2, FM and Air, tested using a software-defined radio transmitter. All lights in working order. It's been well taken care of: minimal scratches or imperfections. One of the plastic decals is missing on the Air button. The glue has become very weak after 50 years so I've re-attached all the other button emblems and rear information plate using super glue.
    Antenna is straight and fully extends. Battery cover foam has been removed (was crumbling before). No corrosion in battery holder. AC power cord is in good shape, no cracks. Please see photos for full cosmetic condition.
    Where the carrying handle connects to the body of the radio, there is supposed to be plastic covering the two exposed screws. None are photographed, but I have since found one of the covers. They're fully cosmetic and don't impact functionality.
    Please feel free to send a message with questions. Thanks for reading.
