Thanks Brenda. I was pulling my hair out over this radio. My wife wants this console working, and it's the one radio I haven't been able to fix. It's also the first one we bought. She even refinished the cabinet herself. That was six months ago..For some reason, she really likes this cabinet... This is the second chassis I bought for it, so the pressure is on me...
Everything lit up, but no sound. Not even static. Luckily, there is a nice schematic for this set that has troubleshooting procedures for each section of the chassis. Section 1 failed, and this resistor was the reason why. I never checked it when I was recapping and checking the other resistors. I've learned a lot from this radio.
Have you got any idea why this big resistor would fail? It doesn't appear to be burnt and it's not physically damaged. Everything else in this section seems fine.
