Product Description

This is a set containing the 8-language live commentary earphone radio, box, and manual, which was distributed only to the spectators attending the 1988 Seoul Olympics opening ceremony and has been kept in storage for 38 years. ■ What it is - A small FM radio that was, for the first time in Olympic history, distributed to all spectators at the opening, closing, and medal ceremonies.

The configuration includes the radio unit (pink), earphones, Seoul Olympics emblem holder, Korean/English manual, and the original box. ■ Condition - The box, styrofoam packaging, and manual are all in their original form. Due to the 38 years of time, the styrofoam has turned yellow and the earphone sponge has deteriorated. - The exterior of the radio unit is in good condition, and the printing on the emblem holder is clear. - Since this device was intended to receive dedicated channels broadcast only inside the stadium during the opening ceremony, it cannot be used for its original purpose currently.
