Other than our trusty Arc AAA's I can hardly think of any consumer electronics items that a drop on a concrete floor won't injure. While I can't dispute the above statement I think calling the Superadio "flimsy" is a bit of an overstatement -- after all, it is built to be a consumer grade portable radio that sells for under 40 bucks. At that price point, my personal opinion is that you can't beat its performance, sound quality, value, and overall package of attributes. One of my Superadio III's is over 10 years old and it still looks and sounds new. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I agree it's good value for the money but I still stand by calling it flimsy. The knobs are cheap, the tuning dial was off considerably and it just seems cheaply put together. I've seen a Panasonic Super radio equivalent (don't know if still in manufacture) that was built much more solidly. When I dropped Ge Super radio, the knobs broke off but that was repairable but something inside broke in which It would only stay on intermittently. Tried to take it apart to figure it out and then got to the part where I realized even if I did figure it out, I was never going to get it together again. The CC radio has survived drops to the floor as has thankfully my Canon digital elph camera.
