I have an older Grundig YachtBoy 206 shortwave receiver, and I'd like to
repair it so as to have it as a backup shortwave radio. This radio is 11
years old and is analog--not digital. The tuning knob is sloppy, in that it
is loose and doesn't tune the stations in precisely--there is too much
"play" in it. Also, there seems to be dust inside the front panel where you
would see the stations--I would hope there is some way to clean it out.

Are there places where I could send this radio for repair? Although it's 11
years old, it still would be good as a backup radio, and it would be nice to
get it back working well again!

Thanks in advance--

Dear Torvald, a.k.a. Les,

Tnx for not forging my call sign.

Check out the shipping and handling charges (both ways) and get an
estimate for repair on that radio first.Chances are,you would be better
off buying a new radio.Radio Shack stores sell a few Grundig brand name
(they are not real Grundig's though) radios.
