Is this radio made of MDF or plastic?

Looking closely at it, I'd say it is plastic with a decent laminate, similar to the console in my Toyota Highlander. The black rounded edges and corners are definitely plastic. It is in fact a tad better laminate than I have seen on MDF. In general, it looks better than the '50's plastic model radios; but it definitely isn't an expensive wooden gem. I'm ok with it, for my retro den. Thanks for making me look!

Is there a trick to getting the radio to play? I am not getting any reception for FM, AM or SW. The volume is turned up and I charged it for 2 hours.

Dear friends, How to get better reception? 1.Take the radio close to window; 2.Stretch out the antenna; 3.Stop charging when you use the radio. Those measure will help your radio get better reception. Thank you for your good questions. PRUNUS

Does it play sounds for on/off or mode change? If so, how loud? Tone or voice? Can it be set to not do it?

Hello. I do not recall any sounds. But quite honestly I sent it back within 10 minutes of getting it. The audio quality was just too thin. My reason for the purchase was to listen to FM next to my chair while I was reading. Maybe in the garage on am it might work fine. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.

how many D batteries does it need?

The Vintage radio needs 2 D batteries. Thank you for your good question. Sincerely, PRUNUS
