Mine was like this, but I think it was AM only. I still remember the smell of its leather case.
I liked to listen to "Lee Alan On the Horn", a very popular Detroit show that came on as I had to go to bed.
I'd listen under the covers using its single ear piece.

("Two speakers? Why would anyone want that?" asked the Fab Four when told about stereo.)
