I'm still looking at a 3-month old listing for a lightly used TechniSat ATS-909. It's identical to your Sangean, right down to the grey plastic too! 🙂 I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to buy the ATS-909 since it's been around for twenty years and I worry about the LCD display going bad. That's the most difficult replacement component to find since this model had been discontinued a long time ago.
Radio Shack had the DX398 which I've heard is the 909, but branded by Radio Shack. When considering buying older radios, I always look at all the pictures by the seller. Often they would show the display so you at least see it. You wouldn't know if it would go out or not of course. When I bought my mine I asked the seller these questions: does it turn on, does the audio work, is the antenna broken, etc. I also asked for an additional picture of the backlight on the 909. I received answers and the additional picture I asked for. Never hurts to ask.
Sangean ATS 909 top of the class again
It definitely had the best sound.
