Wouldn't it take EMP or outright dropping the
radio on the floor to cause that sort of damage?
Or just years of gentle, normal usage?


This type of damage occurs on a fairly regular basis -- without anything
as drastic as an EMP. Just walking across a carpet on a dry winter's day
in a home with a low humidity level can create enough static electricity
to damage some radios...no matter how gentle you are. ;-)
