Those sliders are pain in the ass when broken. Nowhere to get replacement.

And more prone to dust / dirt ingress than the sealed rotary type, I liked it because ALBA used to be the name for scotland, Although it had the look of a DNT about it

I've got the M1 and M5 but sadly I don't think I've got the boxes for them IIRC. Harvard had a rebadged M5.
Adjusting the controls on the M1 isn't as easy with those sliders, but it's quite a cute radio
Hopefully you can make them both out on the shrunken file pic' as it looks pixellated:
