Let's back up. I printed out all of this thread's comments regarding your
radio. It worked and then you saw that it had quit. You don't mention using an ac wall adapter, so the C cells must momentarily break connection while the unit is on. Vibration from the speaker, especially when the volume is turned up, could cause poorly contacting cells to briefly break connection. Otherwise, once it is working good, it should continue to work until the battery dies. 73, Bill, K5BY |

The radio had been off and untouched all day. Had been working fine for
about 3 days. I came home and once again the 12:00 was flashing, and all the presets cleared. Oh boy. It sure sounds like the cells unconnected. If there's no backup inside, that's it. Although I don't know about SW receivers, much of the newer equipment having memories, such as my few years old Radio Shack 2M HT and, I suspect, my new Grundig eTR7 SW RX, as well as computers, musical keyboards, etc., have either a high capacitance capacitor or a piggyback battery on a chip to retain memory. Although the cap will sometimes fail due to age, the battery will indeed fail eventually. And that requires replacing the chip it's on. As for what Shack will allow you, please let us know. G Good luck, Bill, K5BY |
