1970s Vintage Hacker Sovereign II RP25B VHF MW LW Radio Only Working On FM

This is a very impressive 1970s Vintage Hacker Sovereign II RP25B VHF MW LW Radio Only Working On FM. The price has been adjusted as a consequence of its limited working capacity.

The Sovereign II 25B was only made for a short period in 1972 in Great Britain by Hacker Radio Ltd, Maidenhead.  Hackers were a luxury product praised for their build quality and superb sound: every radio collector and home should have at least one!
