Shipping and handling of the payment as usual at Amazon quickly and easily! Radio was procured as eyecatcher for dinette and full of the optics all expectations. The case is actually made of wood, and everything looks like wood. 2 small drawbacks: 1) In weaker coverage areas of the transmitters must be minimally adjusted after a few minutes, because receiving the transmitter stability subside (distorted sound). 2) the scale illumination is always switched on When switching. This is useless in daylight and must be deactivated by pressing a button, if not required. It would be better, in my view, if the scale illumination would turn off when you turn on the radio. Nevertheless: Device ok; strong buy recommendation.
