JimboS1ice Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Too bad I don't have any Hitachi tools but I'd love to give this radio a try. However, the Bosch radio GML 20 / GML50 is really growing on me. That little hitachi is a cool looking radio.

tonylandin Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 still the best way to go in my opinion. From a fan of tools with lots of assistance from Siri #TIACREW 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordraw Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 In a garage shop a real stereo is the way to go. At the job site the portable ones work great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a great setup for the garage. One problem for me at least in my garage,is its super dusty. My house faces East to West. With East being the backside of the house. I almost always have the back garage door open because it leads directly to the larger patio in backyard where we grill and have a fire pit. Plus multiple hairy dogs,I could never keep mine as clean as yours is. Wind is wierd in my neighborhood,lots of tall trees and the way houses sit. When my neighbors and I all have our flags out you can see them moving in different directions,its so wierd. Sorry for ramble im 3 beers down now hehe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just blow the dust off with compressed air once a week or so. You do need to eliminate the dust because it will generate excess heat inside the unit...but they are more resilient than you'd assume. We do work for the Hard Rock casino and their stuff goes bad all the time because of the cigarette smoke, it starts building up on the components and failures start. I can normally pick up a couple 8" dust bunnies with my hand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordraw Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I have four out door speakers because of the heat and dust factor. The receiver and other electronics are in the cabinet too. Also that is a good reason for not going with really high end stuff. All my stuff has been there for a number of years without any issues so far. I have a 32" TV too. But yeah, dust and heat are a concern but not a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Humidity is more of a concern than dust in electronics. BUT the dust will also help hold in the humidity...I don't imagine it being an issue with Mike since he's in California. In FL, I see it all the time with outdoor electronics, it literally causes rust and sometimes will even rust the traces on the PCB. We have a $5000 McIntosh in the shop that has rusted traces, basically unfixable. The customer used it in an un-air conditioned vacation house in Ecuador.

JimboS1ice Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I have my old RCA surround system in the garage that gets wet, frozen, hot, cold... The sub died a while ago but the speakers and receiver work fine. Didn't helped I shoved a piece of pipe through it [emoji16] Jimbo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
