The reason I know that this can happen is that one of my friends melted the case of his Technics KN800 a few years ago.
I think he still has it, and it still works, but it is UGLY. I'm sure it's for sale, cheap.
His email is dickiet@shreve.net , but I don't believe he knows what temperature it reached.
Our temperature here is over 100 much of the summer. I can only imagine what it reaches inside a car trunk. Last week my son bought a plastic gadget that shows temperature for his car dash. After a few minutes sitting on the dash board it reached 125 degrees, as far as the little thermometer would read.
