I am dismayed to have discovered firsthand the very poor mechanical design
of the Grundig YB 400PE. The antenna is bolted to a tiny piece of plastic
that (obviously) doesn't stand a chance of holding up to the torque it
gets subjected to. This part looks like it costs about $0.01 per 100.
To manufacture, that is.


Might be, but I've had my YB-400 since it first came out -- nearly ten
years now, I believe, without every experiencing ANY problem of ANY
kind.
