I have a couple of Proton 320 radios from the '80s in my bathrooms, sound fine still, clocks work well to, but...
One of them has a very finicky tuner, have to wiggle the tuning knob, station will come in clear for a moment then drift off again with distorted audio. Any idea how the tuners in these work, anything I can repair?
Doing a bit of online research I guess these are well regarded as is the Nakamicki stereo pair I use in my bedroom, going on 30 years for both. Think I paid $120 for the Proton, over $200 for the Nakamichi pair back in the 80s, guess I got my money's worth, but hope to get more use out of the Proton. I don't know what is available today with the sound quality that the Proton has. Some recent vintage Boston Acoustics have favorable reviews, but NLA.
