FM MW LW SW radio/cassette - and all in stereo.

Cleaning and health check this morning, still going strong.
My Panasonic stereo was state of the art back at the end of 1979 when I bought it. It went with me to London where I was doing a PhD; I’d a great stereo of separates when a student in Glasgow, but that was too cumbersome to take with me (involved LP collection, cassettes, big speakers etc!).
My Panasonic cassette tape player/recorder was well used in London - and more so in years to come when it played many a nursery rhyme tape, story tape and the exploits of Harry Potter to our young sons. Nowadays it resides in the conservatory and the FM radio brings us good and bad News, excellent programmes on summer’s evening like “Get it On” with Bryan Burnett, or Johnnie Walker’s “Sounds of the 70s” on a winter’s Sunday afternoon. And a lot of rugby is still broadcast only on MW (aka AM nowadays). I never really have listened much to Long Wave LW. This unit reintroduced me to the world of Short Wave SW radio, which I subsequently listened to a lot when offshore, in the desert and the remote parts of Scotland in the 1980s. I’d had an SW set previously but it was of poor quality.
