I stored the batteries from this radio in a drawer for a long period. When I put the batteries back in, it powered on and I was able to receive AM radio broadcasts. The reception was good even from inside the house. I don't have any cassette tapes, so I haven't been able to check playback, recording, or microphone recording functions. Auto-reverse Stereo speakers Includes new batteries. PSP is not included. It's for size comparison. *Please be aware that returns are not accepted.*
