Just happened to see this Microlink FR160 Multipurpose Outdoor Radio last night on ebay,It was $10 w free shipping or Best Offer and only had like 19 hours to go with no bids. The description said: "This radio works but the red part is sticky and red comes off on your hands when touching." It looked attractive and I figured that could be cleaned off with some alcohol or something and I kind of wanted another portable anyway so I offered $5, figured no one was bidding because of the sticky residue and what did I have to lose but $5? Well after forgetting aboutit, I just discovered I won and it's on its way. But I was initially surprised I got it so cheap until I searched the radio out and see they are selling brand new on Amazon for $15. Oh well, no regrets, but I probably wouldnt have bothered if I had known. Either way I got an emergencies AM radio for only $5

Cool! Great price. Let us know if it works. Looks like, maybe it has NOAA weather band too?
As for that sticky stuff, a real pain in the neck. I have some old equipment that has that problem, even my binoculars. Alcohol doesn't seem to cut it, just kind of rubs it around. It may feel like it's gone at first but comes back.
Let us know if you find a solvent that takes it off without making a hole in the case...
