In very good cosmetic condition with no chips or cracks to the plastics, just the odd superficial mark or surface graze here and there. Considering this was most likely used in a workplace or even in a garden shed, it's fared very well indeed!  There's the odd crackle from the knobs when they are being adjusted, but that's to be expected from an item of this age. It measures approximately 30cm (12 in.) in width, 23cm (9 in.) in height with the handle upright, and has a depth of 7.5cm (3 in.).

In good condition considering its age and use, the Sony ICF-10AL has a little discolouration to the rear and to the two pink buttons on the top of the unit from light exposure but otherwise it's in good shape with no chips or cracks. It is fully functional and takes 3 x "AA" batteries or can be powered by a 3V AC adaptor. It measure 11 cm square x 8 cm deep (4 1/2 in. and 2 1/4 in. respectively)

The unit functions as it should with the radio surprisingly good.  There are signs of wear and tear throughout, but no chips or cracks to the plastics. The labels for the controls are almost completely worn away, but they are simple enough. The slider controls the volume, the large circular knob is the radio tuning control, whilst the switches are (from left to right), the radio on/off/auto control and the tuner band (AM or FM) control.  The time display window has some grazing to the plastics and is slightly "foggy" but this doesn't affect the viewing of the time.

The radio works - although a bit crackly -  and takes two "AA" batteries - you just unscrew the two halves to reveal the inside and the battery compartment. The plastic strap is affixed to the metal belt which surrounds the orange housing via a "D" ring, which is not original but which works perfectly. It and the strap can be removed if necessary, the latter by unscrewing the red closure which holds the belt in place.

The radio measures approximately 13cm in diameter with a depth of 6cm (approx. 5 in. and 2¼ in. respectively), and the strap is approximately 122cm (48 in.) in total length. In very good condition with only extremely minimal superficial signs of age and use.

The front comprises a flip clock which works flawlessly and alarm time and rotating seconds indicators, tuner display and a row of buttons for setting various options such as the alarm function and type (radio or buzzer), tuning band, radio (manual or automatic) and volume slider. The tuner display is duplicated on the top of the unit and both have a red light indicating the position. To the right hand side of the unit is a large tuning adjuster, whilst to the far left of the front of the panel is a knob for setting the sleep time and a dual-purpose knob for alarm and time adjustment. The chromed knobs feel reassuringly solid and offset the look of the black and silver housing nicely.

Our DC16 is in good cosmetic condition and fully functional. The volume slider is slightly noisy but the radio plays clearly once the volume is set. There is some slight wear underneath the clear panel and some very minor dust inside, but nothing too detrimental - overall, this is very good aesthetically and very well made, a quality which belies its rather humble origins as a product from a "High Street" brand.

The unit is large - 33cm (13 in.) wide at the front, 18cm (7 in.) from front to back, and it sits 11cm (4¼ in.) high. It weighs in at a hefty 2 Kg.
