Here's a cool radio the Heir saw on YouTube.  He likes the vinyl-ish texture, as well as the double-mat speaker grille.  The shortwave band can be swapped out for the weather band, and with an aux band button swapping out the tone knob on top, and he's got something to bring with him to that beach that's conformant with Carmen's preferred dress code.  He'll have to re-watch the video to see whether the carry handle gets in the way of the buttons.  1960 Sudfunk @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ570UrhdSs
