The survey has now closed

Here are the results from the survey where we asked

If your radio stops working, what do you do?

Poll showing 45% try to repair it and under 10% throw away and buy new.

Poll Results – January 2023

As we hoped, most of our readers want to repair their devices and less than 10% buy a new one.

No one in our survey takes their broken radio to a service centre as there are very few now available. But don’t throw it away! There are Repair Cafes, often held monthly, and other volunteer run events where like minded people come together to help fix all kinds of items.

If you too would like to lean more about retro tech repair and restoration see our Useful Links page on some ways to get involved.
