SONY ICF-5800

My first shopping this year is a shortwave radio. It's Sony's ICF-5800. This is a memorable radio for me. Because I got to know a hobby of shortwave listening through a TV commercial of this model more than thirty years ago. Catching signals of Radio Australia and BBC with this radio fascinated me very much because it  made me feel that I was connected to other countries through a tiny radio.

The one I purchsed was well restored by experts and show excellent features which are more than what I expected. Audio quality is good and it's easy to operate. On top of that, the overall design fits to my favor.
