Midland Model 74-102. Manufactured February 1989. I found this in a thrift shop yesterday. It had a 9V battery so I gave the dial a turn, and sure enough, it still works!

I can't justify the cost of a new weather radio, but this guy only ran me four bucks. Now I need to get my hands on a 12 volt barrel jack power supply.
