I bought this last year secondhand, completely cleaned it, it is dust free, smoke free, beautiful condition and works perfectly. When you power it on volume increases gradually - a nice design touch.

I think the reason these are so popular is because they have a rich, deep, full stereo sound with enhanced bass at low /normal casual listening volumes.  

Has auxiliary input which can be used to add or connect a smart phone wirelessly via a Bluetooth adapter (digital analog , a.k.a. DA) converter with RCA outputs which can be found on Amazon or eBay). Also has RCA lines out.

I love the radio, but downsizing everything - and this is large/substantial size unit.

No remote but honestly I’ve never missed it - they seem kind of gimicky. They can be easily found on eBay / Amazon
