The Grundig Sateliit 800 is the real Buy It For Life Radio.

Or a Zenith transoceanic

Or the Tivoli, model one:

OP’s radio is like a PT Cruiser.

The Tivoli tends to break alot, all in the same way, luckily it's an easy fix. I forgot what exactly it was, I know 2 friends that own them, and they both had the same problem. According to the internet it's not unusual.

Is it really Buy It For Life when the technology (shortwave radio) is obsolete?

What, you haven't heard of the internet yet? All you need are servers, cell towers or landline connections, modems, routers, and computers, tablets or phones and you can communicate instantly all around the world!

So, obviously your little radio set is worthless now. Duh.
