[NJARC] Battery damage help needed

I checked the Ham reviews and no one complained about battery life in the reviews I read.  Put a pasteboard shim between the batteries and hook up an ammeter to read current draw.  Perhaps there is an issue in the audio amplifier?  It is rated at 20 watts so perhaps there is a shorted or leaky power transistor?Jim

I have a Grundig Satellit 800. The thing is a battery hog,lousy on AM and SW but excellent on FM. A regular set of batteries lasts 3hours and then about another 2 after they rest. A set of duracelld rotted outthe battery clips in short order and now a set of Sunbeams leaked all over theinside. The sunbeams leak what looks like oil. What can I do to clean this outwhile I might be able to still save the radio? Spray down the boards with water repeatedlywhile missing the speaker and allowing it to drain? Thanks in advance   Bill Overbeck
