Vtg. 1970’s UTIC AM FM Stereo Receiver + Mini Speakers Model 2830 Battery Operated Preowned

Very cool radio stereo receiver with speakers manufactured by UTIC. From the 1970’s. The receiver is metal with a black plastic control panel for plugging the speakers, adjusting the volume, tuning the frequency and selecting a station. Measures approximately 4 1/2” long x 3” high x 1” deep. Model 2830. Takes 3 AA batteries. Features 2 silver and black plastic miniature speakers measuring approximately 2 3/4” long x 3 1/2” high x 1 1/2” thick. The number of stations it picks up seems to be contingent upon its location. I placed it in two rooms of my house and could not get any reception. Moving it to another room, I was able to hear clearly one station on AM and 1 station on FM. Not sure if there are external factors affecting the radio signals. It is audible, but, even raising the volume to maximum level on both speakers, it is not very loud. There seems to be no breaks in the wires to cause poor reception. It may be something very simple that a person with knowledge of electronic can correct. Although it may not be functioning all the time, this little stereo receiver with speakers make a great display piece. Sold in present condition. Cash only. Pickup in New Hyde Park, Nassau County, Long Island.
