I might have an obses…. Erm, a problem!

What are these and what are they connected to?
They're radios and not connected to anything while theyre inside. theyre just charging.
So THAT's what I should be using to clean wires to make them look nice again so I can make out the colours easier -- Clorox.
Are there any quad stations in signal range by you? If so, you seem all set for maximum fidelity appreciation.
Incidentally, Paul : That round, gold loop antenna would make for a good clock sconce. Double-duty / multitasking.

OK, I'll ask the obvious question: why four of them? I have two of a few models of radio -- two SRI's (bought one new, got the other one at a thrift store 15 years ago), and two SRIII's (one was a gift to my late mother). I've thought about getting a backup to a small XHDATA I've got, because it's an inexpensive, but useful little radio.
So why four? Do you listen to four different frequency bands at the same time? Are they just backups in case one fries? Just curious.

Battery meter seems inaccurate, i want one or two always charged if the battery runs down on another.. want one if another breaks.. they take a month to come from china.
Any stations in range of me? You obviously havent looked at a map of where i am
I'm curious. Why four of the same radios?
What kind of battery do they use? Just curious. And which brand is it? Couldn't find it online.
i answered that above already
No idea
and the "model name" is at the very top of my first post.. TEF6686./. its all over ebay and aliexpress
Where do you buy them and how much? Is this better to buy on AliBaba or AliExpress or from Amazon and its type domestically?
When I search TEF6686 I get different models from that one. No dual speakers. Several on Amazon, well over $100. Single speaker. There's got to be a manufacturer brand name somewhere on the device?
AliExpress is where i get them from..... ive had a few issues but not because of ali, the seller and its always been resolved, quickly and in my favor.
no manufacturer name.. search TEF6686 LNA on aliexpress
TEF6686 IS the name, its prob. manufactured by several companies and some are copies of a copy
For anyone exploring buying things from Alibaba or AliExpress, keep in mind that items that use pirated designs may be listed from a variety of sellers.
Example: I have bought an electric paper cutter (a $1500 item) from AliExpress but only after quite a lot of cross checking. The design of my cutter is the same throughout various suppliers, but there are a handful of different manufacturers making the same design.
Of course, many / most of the reviews on AliExpress are likely "self-induced" so one has to go by the descriptions and photos. I ended up buying the one that had the most photos and included close-ups of the interior electro-mechanical parts. Turned out fine, and it's been chopping for me for nearly two years now.
the ones on amazon and ali that ive bought come with 2.0... i have some of the silver metal case ones too
