Happened upon on Tandberg 41 SW portable. . .

Thank you for the excellent info. I would have never guessed that the connections on the bottom were for the car adapter. Well I think I have this radio mostly figured out now, though the speaker connection on the side is a pretty strange one also (at least, I've never seen that type before).

Last night, the clouds moved out and I was able to get some good reception on the SW band. I picked up several on the lower end of the dial, including Radio Havana (talking about how to set up shortwave equipment, interestingly enough), something in what sounded like Japanese, several religious stations, and one in a language which I couldn't identify. The middle of the SW dial seemed mostly empty, but I picked up another one on the upper end. I still haven't had any luck from 160-260 kHz, but I'll keep trying. It's a fun radio!

I heard that one myself! I was playing around with my National (panasonic) T-66...trying to trace down the reason it has very low volume when the turned all the way up. No luck yet. If anyone can point me to a diagram for this thing, I would be very thankful! It's a National T-66 MW/SW radio.
