I bought a used Grundig Yacht Boy 400 a few weeks ago.

That's why I don't buy USED radios. Must be a reason someone wanted
to sell it. New may cost more, but new comes with a warranty.

I got my YB-400 when they first came out (I guess about 9 years ago)
and it works great and has great sound - none of the problems you
mentioned.
I bought mine at a thrift store for 7 dollars, so even though it doesn't
work quite like I expected, it's still a good price. It's in surprisingly
good cosmetic condition too.
BTW, it's an original Yacht Boy 400, not the PE model, and nothing on it
indicates that it is from Radio Shack but who knows.
