I just bought an AM/FM radio (w/ CD player) from Emerson and it was
defective right out of the box...No sound. I've since read that most $100-
or-less radios these days are made in China (as was the Emerson), and that
Chinese radios have quality problems.
Can anyone recommend a good, inexpensive radio/radio brand made in Japan or
that is of reliable quality regardless of origin? I just want something
simple. OK if CD player is included, but the main thing is to have AM/FM.
Thanks.

I can't suggest a good brand of radios, but NEVER EVER buy anything made
by Emerson (or Haier for that matter) no matter what the price is. If
handed to you for free, dump it.

,
i recommend a Digital tuner vs "dial" tuning;
you stay on the frequency all the time
you might start your search at Amazon.com
i find the the user ratings a good starting guide for brands, etc

Emerson is just a junk line made to sell in big box stores. I doubt they
have made anything of reasonable quality in decades.
