Default Yacht Boy 400 -- No Reverse-polarity Protection?

I did the same thing myself back then, but first blamed it on the AC
adapter. Then I read about the reversed polarity issue.

I was able to trade it in for an YB-500 with a little in-between. But the
YB-400 is a much better radio in my opinion...

Ok, thanks . Unbelievable that this radio didn't have such protection
.... all it would have taken is a diode and maybe a couple of other
components. You say you were able to "trade" it ... were you able to get
it back working again?
