Default What's a good LONG lasting shortwave radio...

I own a Panasonic RF-2600 which I bought new back in the 1980s.It is a
piece of crap! It started drifting (it wont stay on station unless I jam
a piece of cardboard or something between the tuning thingy and the
plastic cabinet) like crazy soon after I bought the radio at a Service
Merchandise store and the radio will not play unless I stick a little
wedge between the earphone jack and the plastic cabinet area surrounding
the earphone jack.I have never used the earphone jack before.I never use
earphones or ear buds.

eham said it is a collector radio.Phooey! it is a piece of junk!
