Grundig FR200

The FR200 runs forever off three AA batteries and the AM reception is good. It's a cute little radio and the carry handle is really handy. If you intend to hide this radio away for use in an emergency kit it would probably be a very good choice. However after extended use, both radios I had developed a noisy volume control that needed replacement according to a Grundig service tech I spoke to. I didn't have an authorized Grundig service depot close by, and I felt the postage expense to Toronto for the warranty repair just wasn't worth it. Every new piece of electronics I've obtained, that has a volume knob, in the last 5 years has needed that treatment in just a few months. Cheap crap. A shot of Nu-Trol (lubricating control cleaner) fixed my FR200 right up. But it's a bit of a bitch to get at the damn thing. As I remember, six screws on the back to get the case open, two of which are under the serial number label. The knobs pull off, but it's bit scary how hard you have to pull.
