Hi all!
I just inherited mt deceased father's Cyrus Stream X FM receiver but due to poor packing, it arrived from my family with two of the channel select buttons missing.
It turns out that all the fascia buttons except one are part of a single plastic moulding, not actual buttons, which fall out if knocked, and wil probably not stand the test of time. Anyway, I just wrote to Cyrus asking if they could send another such piece of plastic. Answer: no, send the unit to us, that'll be 250 pounds please!
So, two warnings to potential Cyrus customers:
1) The electronics may be OK, but the casing and front panel are cheap plastic mouldings that scratch easily and if it takes a knock, the buttons fall out like rotten teeth
2) When this happens, you have the choice of being fleeced by Cyrus to have them insert another piece of cheap plastic, or to struggle on with less and less buttons to press as time goes by... or throw it in the skip and buy from a serious company instead
Bad Cyrus!
