Sony TFM 116A

Came across this little guy last weekend, and just finished cleaning it up and removing the battery acid. I love how well built this is, especially compared to Sony's stuff today. (Self proclaimed Sony fan boy, don't let the hordes of Pannies tell you otherwise) haha

Here's some pictures.


These internals!!!

Here are a few nice little details I like.

I like how there's no screw holding the antennas in, it's so clean looking. Not only that but they push in flush into the box.
I love how the lettering isn't just painted on, it's etched in.
Just overall, a clean box, I feel like Sony could release this today, it even has aux inputs.

Ah, that's cute! Two antennas on such a small thing, how long are the antennas and why would it need two?

Quite long! I don't know why it'd need two or why they need to be this long. Perhaps, it has to do with the fact that it picks up "Marine" frequencies.
