This small, cheap, single-cassette RCA boombox didn't seem like anything special when I picked it up at a Goodwill store, but its sound quality on AM radio is AMAZING!  The treble is crisp and clear and overall it actually sounds better than FM.  It is a RP-7717A model, probably from the early '90s.

Here it is tuned to 1170 WWTR, a local AM station broadcasting Indian / South Asian music.  You probably wouldn't know you're listening to AM unless I told you!
