This is the largest of the Volksempfänger Radios and the only example i can find for sale. The most common Volksempfänger  you\'ll find is the VE301W model which measures 11 inches tall and this one towers over it at almost 16 inches in height. The dials and toggle switches all work, the cord is in tact and it appears to have been reworked and may very well work (I can\'t find my power adapter to test). Inside you have the option to change the power source from 220 to 110.

The Volksempfänger (people’s receiver) was a range of radio receivers developed by engineer Otto Griessing at the Reich Minister of Propaganda of the regime. The purpose of the Volksempfänger-program was to make radio reception technology affordable to the general public. Goebbels realized the great propaganda potential of this relatively new medium and thus considered widespread availability of receivers highly important (wikipedia).
