I bought a used Grundig Yacht Boy 400 a few weeks ago.

That's why I don't buy USED radios. Must be a reason someone wanted
to sell it. New may cost more, but new comes with a warranty.

I got my YB-400 when they first came out (I guess about 9 years ago)
and it works great and has great sound - none of the problems you
mentioned.
