This does work but please keep in mind the “TV world book” comes off so you can leave it off or just re-glue. Shouldn’t take much to fix.
Also it does work and takes 3 AAA batteries that won’t be included in this purchase.
Although it does work the sound does seem a bit staticy but I’m also not familiar with I love Lucy so I’m not 100% sure what she’s saying.
Thanks for looking and let me know if you have any questions!
