Hi Lou,
I've had my dream machine for around nine years and never had anything like
that happen. Since the radio is built of high-impact plastic, I'm not sure
how you could get an electrical shock from it, but anything is possible.
Thanks for the heads-up. Maybe these things get less reliable as they get
older. I'd sure hate to lose mine! Outside of the Bose, I don't know what
you could get to replace it.
