We have two Grundig Yacht boys, one bought from Comet in about 1968 and has travel all round Europe and South as far as Rome on family camping holidays and now is in my workshop. In all that time its had just one capacitor fail in the power supply. The other Yacht boy I bought from a jumble sale for 50p as not working, the live was disconnected in the 13 amp plug, it has never failed. Both now need a pair of small knobs. Ted
