Hi Everyone,
Something odd happened tonight. I found my Super Radio II dead. So I figured the batteries were dead. I went to check them and found something odd. Two of the six batteries had reversed polarity! In my over 50 years in electronics I have never found that. The batteries are good Duracell. Has this happened to anyone else? With electronics I guess anything is possible. Two batteries were at about 1V, two were nearly dead and the two that reversed polarity were at about 1/2V. Fortunately the radio is fine. I replaced the batteries. This may be more common, but I have never seen it.
