I want to know what's inside this 10 band Kaiwa H-798 portable radio.
The goal is to see the components used, especially to find out which IC is used.

Here are the things I found, after I looked into it:

On the front case, the speaker is attached with hot glue.
speaker spesifications: diameter 50 mm, 8 ohm 0.25W

The tuning dial plate is not made of metal, the material is plastic.

note the two short individual ferrite rods for MW & LW, is not sure why they do this, as almost all manufacturers place MW LW coils at the single ferrite rods.

Inside this radio contains a Sony CXA1019M IC, the IC is used in various portable radio models.
Radios using this IC will usually show long-lasting use, with 2 AA batteries.
