I had a problem like this years ago with the first YB400 I bought --
either it wouldn't turn on consistently, or it wouldn't turn off, I
forget which. Anyway Grundig ended up replacing it under warranty. I
realize your warranty is long since expired but just thought I'd offer
a data point to show that your case is at least to some extent a known
problem with this model.

Sometimes I think modern electronics try to be too smart for their own
good. Fewer and fewer items contain a basic electromechanical switch
that when you turn it off, actually disconnects the power!

Charles, thanks very much. I wish I'd used the radio more now in the
last couple of years, rather than letting it sit in storage. Might
not have prevented the problem, but there again it probably didn't
help to be left sitting unused.

Yes, right now, I wish it had a simple rotating switch that went from
ON to OFF!

Best regards to you,
JG
