The first one is just missing the dish antenna, right?

Well there you have it....
I am not sure which surprises me more.
The fact that someone made a radio disguised as a scale,
or the fact that there was enough of a market that they made more than one.... :roll:

Since the seller stated the "radio" works I sent him this message.

Hi,
What stations were you able to tune in with your radio? I didn't see any speaker, does it need headphones to use?
Thanks,

It will be interesting to see how the seller responds.

Seller added pictures showing speaker and damage. Apparently the dish is not needed to receive signals.

A not very large speaker is in the base, firing upward.
