Eton E1XM receiver with serial in the 80xxx (not one of the first-run
from the manufacturer). It has worked wonderfully until, recently, the
buttons stopped working. All of them. The display is perfect, it still
gets signal and produces audio (though without button operation, it's
in the SW band only) and everything else operates just fine. Called
R.L. Drake about repair, they estimate 1 hour of labor plus parts
(estimate $125, and shipping both ways to Ohio). I've decided to bail.
Your options: buy from me for $100 plus actual shipping and insurance,
and get it repaired, in which case you've got a $450 radio
(calculation: $418 from Universal Radio plus tax and shipping) for
about $250. Or, you could cannibalize it for parts. Power supply and
satellite antenna included. One last note on condition: The radio's
folding antenna is slightly bent at the top section.
