Tivoli Model Three with known weaknesses

The radio worked 1 1/2 years properly. then began the tuner (knob) in the upper region (95-105) to scratch, as described by his colleagues. A warranty repair during shipment came back after 6 weeks and resolved the complaints. After half a year the fault in the tuner reappeared, so I always new hiring me the transmitter and avoid touching the tuning knob. Then you go, just with a transmitter. We all get older, many will age faster. And straight to the garbage ??
