I was able to power this on with a homemade plug (it is not included with the sale). The indicator light is out and the volume (switch) is scratchy. I know very little about this however I bought an antenna (not included) and I got the following stations... SW 2-8 13.597 ...  SW 1 16.3 ... MW ESPN and FM Many of them. So it seems to work but it may need some TLC. Please ask me any questions and I'll be glad to communicate with ylou!
