Retro style radio set

  radio vintage
What is wrong?  the Conceptual Model:
- Designer put a switch on the left side to turn on the appliance
- Users prefer to turn on by a volume knob.
  In a radio set usually the volume control knob is used to turn on, but on this old style radio the On/Off switch is on the left side.
The On/Off switch is not even on frontal panel but almost hidden on a lateral panel.

This causes 3 problems:
First problem: you have to search for On/Off switch.
Second problem: when you turn on, if someone have left the volume set up on max, the loud music can hurt your ears.
Third problem: to turn off you have to continue press the On/Off switch for 2 seconds
