Description :

1980s RadioShack AM FM Weather Analog Portable Silver Radio

This item is an analog AM/FM/WX portable radio produced by RadioShack in the early to mid-1980s. The unit features a manual rotary dial for band selection and frequency tuning, supporting AM broadcasts from 530–1700 kHz, FM from 88–108 MHz, and Weather Band reception. Its silver and black casing includes a frontal tuning window, printed frequency scale, perforated speaker grille, and printed labels verifying analog operation. Additional design details include a carry handle, metal antenna, and integrated AC power cord, supporting both mobility and home use. This model reflects RadioShack’s product line during a transitional era of consumer electronics, when analog multi-band radios served leisure, travel, and emergency monitoring roles before digital tuners and all-in-one devices became mainstream.

During the 1980s, RadioShack was a primary distributor of analog electronic devices tailored for household and mobile usage. The inclusion of WX Weather Band tuning in radios emerged as a response to rising awareness around civil preparedness and real-time forecasting. Analog radios like this played a role in bridging analog broadcast media with domestic accessibility before digital interfaces became dominant in the 1990s.

Materials made of: Plastic, aluminum, electronic components, vinyl wiring
