My Crosley 819M shot me!
#1

With one of the dial bezel screws of all things! I was checking the radio out and noting the lower left corner of the dial bezel looked more warped than it used to and it suddenly let go when I touched it. The bezel split where the screw went in, bounced the screw off me and then off the dial glass before it went clattering off under something nearby. So, I now have a split dial bezel, but from what I can tell no cracks in the dial glass at least. Must have been under a fair amount of pressure before it let go like that. The upper left corner screw did something similar a year ago, but not that dramatic. I'll have to get some better light on the radio later as it is not in an area with great light and my flashlight decided to die tonight as well. Little switch on the flashlight went 'crunch' instead of 'click' when I tried to use it to check the damage. Well, I was happy until that...

No matter where you go, there you are.
