Coby Electronics has been bought out by a venture capitalist group, who decided against taking on the burden of their warranty service - any Coby item you own is now out of warranty :wave:

I think I have three of their radios. None cost more than $10 and are far out of warranty, so I won't shed too many tears. Maybe they'll become collector's items.

I own the radio in the image, it was my first shortwave unit; not bad at all for ten bucks. Now we're left to wonder what will be the next big drugstore radio/CD player brand..

I think I have a Coby radio sitting around somewhere. They were always the cheap drugstore brand, not the most stellar performer but OK for the price. Sad to see them go.
