I have a query for everyone that has worked with or repaired radios.
When you see a radio marked "does not power" or get one that comes into the shop for that reason, what is your go-to "this is what's going on"? I always see these radios and they tend to go for pretty cheap and I have always wondered what could be causing that problem. Could it be the power knob/button? Is it an internal fuse? Does it have to do with the contacts from the battery/power supply? If so, how cheap is it to repair these radios? Or are they just meant to be thrown out
I'm just curious how this would get dealt with.
