Ever since the SonyICF-2010 and RS DX-440 went out of production, all
follow-on SW radios have been almost utter cheap plastic junk

The Eton E1 is much better than any of my three Sony 2010s. The 2010
is not without its faults, either. The FET is easily blown out, the
case is cheap plastic and causes Error messages, the antenna
receptacle has worn out on every 2010 I've owned, and the power supply
connections are notorious for going bad.

Are you also suggesting that the SonySW77and the Sony 7600G and
7600GR are also cheap plastic junk? They all came after the 2010 and
DX440.

I think I remember you under some other names in the past. You seem to
get your jollies by telling people their radios suck. Whatever. I
think anyone who knows much about radios knows you're wrong.

You have a right to your opinions. It's just that your blanket
condemnations lack credibility.

My SW77 had died and took it to a tech saying I think some of the
capacitors were 'leaking' (electrically) was told yes indeed several
electrolytics had leaked 'electrolyte' onto the main pcb causing many
problems that could not be reliable repaired! Asked wasn't it unusual
for several capacitors to leak simultaenously and answered in the
affirmative. Hadn't been used or stored in unusual conditions. Am
****ed off. Had the predecessor 2010D (I think) and had problems with
that too. With my SW77 it works perfectly except no audio from
speaker. Audio from headphone jack is OK???????????
