Cuhulin, you had in a previous thread mentioned having a Panasonic
RF-2600, right? Is this what you're referring to? Or are you
referring to the Panasonic RF-B600? The RF-2600 had its issues with
drift, as did the RF-2800/2900.

RF-600 AM/FM/Shortwave radio www.google.com DXing.com Panasonic
Radios I bought it brand new about 25 years ago at a Service
Merchandise store.Straight out of the box,that radio drifts like
crazy,tune it to a station and you can see that tuning knob move counter
clockwise about one eighth of an inch or more all by itself every single
time,I used to stick a thin piece of cardboard like a calling card
between the metal ring on the tuning knob and the plastic cabinet to
help hold the radio on station.And not long after I bought the radio,the
earphone jack worked loose all by itself,I never have used that earphone
jack before.The only way I can get the radio to turn on,light up and
work is to stick a little thin piece of plastic wedge between the metal
outer body of the earphone jack and the plastic cabinet.I do not give
High Marks to that radio at all.Frankly,Panasonic radios never have
impressed me as far as quality is concerned,especially build quality.Of
course it could be my Panasonic RF-600 radio I bought turned out to be a
Lemon.Humph! GPX Radios are better than Panasonic radios,in my opinion.

radio I own,I only thought I would throw my two cents in regarding my
Panasonic radio.

I have an RF-B45. Like a rock.

Sitting behind my kitchen door,in my den/junkroom is a big rounded top
solid wood "radio".It is very thick and heavy and unpainted.It is about
the thickness and height (or a little larger) of a one gallon jar and
about one and a half times the width of a one gallon jar if the jar was
laying down on it's side.It has solid wood "knobs" attatched to the
"radio".I bought it at a Goodwill store about ten years ago.I never do
have any problems with that "radio"
