    What a cool looking feature packed mono, its so small to!

    It has no power at all, i plug in a 9v supply and nothing works. However, when i touch the small lead that comes off the side of the adaptor, specifically the tip of it, the radio fires into life. Some work needed perhaps or a different adaptor needed. Well its in the repair queue now!

    Assuming it is a barrel type plug is the hole in the middle too big ? I have had that happen before as there seems to be several different sizes of plug.

    Dry joints where the socket is soldered to the board I'd say :(

    Wait. Is this the one that I gave repair advice on in the other forum? What happened with that, did you do the tests I suggested to verify the source of the problem?
