I dont have any aerial setup as I havent used it in many years. My dad bought it for me brand new on a trip to japan when i was a teenager and I havent used it since well umm 20 years ago?

The tuning dial mechanism seems to have seized up some and will required stripping down and lubricating. I used to have access to all the test equipment needed to align radio gear, hopefully it doesnt need it.

No mods but still in good original condition. From the sounds of things they are still a desirable unit and in good condition might be worth a pretty penny now
