If you cannot get the Sangean fixed and need to buy another shortwave set, I highly recommend going with Grundig. I bought a Grundig Satellit 700 back in 1994 and it has had nearly daily use since then and still works like the day I bought it. The only issue is that some of the numbers have worn off the buttons!

I don't use it for SW that much anymore as the web has become my primary source of information, but it wakes me up every morning at 5AM to my favorite classical station. When I am in the mood for some DXing however (especially on a warm summer night in my backyard), I can pick up just about anything that's available.

There is no more Grundig.

It was bought out a number of years ago by the Chinese.

They now operate under the Eton label.

Used Grundigs are available on Ebay and elsewhere but get big bucks.

I’ll up the Grundig recommendation and add you should find a pre-1997 model that uses analog dials....

My two oldest Grundigs, one from the 1980’s and the other a 1995 or so, have lived longer than the newer 2 2000’s model years that I bought, both had the electronic dials die from what looks (post mortem autopsy) like corrosion that ate the contacts on the silicon.

The new Grundigs are incredibly light weight though... however I don’t trust them for long term use...
