My 440 refuses to power up on internal or external DC, however the display is fine so the fault is somewhere on the DC/DC converter board.....I do not have a service manual and my vision is going so it makes it difficult for me to see the detail I need for a component level repair. My instincts tell me a IC went, thinking this takes external DC, regulates it and breaks it down for various voltages needed for the main receiver board. My loss is your gain, as the used car salesman says.....I am offering the radio for parts, perhaps someone can use it, or repair it for me. Although a older radio, I loved the sensitivity and have enjoyed using it over the years....I'll wait a reasonable time for a taker, if not she goes to the trash.
Classic Collins she ain't.
Good cosmetics, main board is intact and good.
I will even pay for the shipping!
