Does this sound like a speaker or a radio issue. It stayed on for about 10 minutes, but we have no am radio channels here to tune to, to see if would actually bring in a station. You turn the knob on now the light lights up and no sound at all. If all it is, is a speaker then I would like to change that and keep it working. I do not want to put out the money on a NOS radio for just AM in a work truck.
Thanks for your assistance,

in general, speakers don't die like that. I would guess that it is not a speaker problem. You might want to check to see if the antenna is plugged in properly. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | dang! ya didn't let the smoke out did ya?  is 69 solid state yet? do they still use vibrators Nix?

I don't know too much about them and the techniques to troubleshoot would be quite different from the tube era radios.
