I have a Roberts DAB radio with a traditional style caseÂ* It seems to be

a second hand faulty one on eBay and swap the innards, but they all seem
to have the same problem.

I can fairly easily remove the plastic coating, but how could I seal the
crumbly substrate?

Years ago I took my mums old radio and built a plywood case with teak
bvenner in it and some tygan fret loudspeaker cloth. That lasted another
ten years I think
