Radio Fix

My emergency AM/FM radio went silent, it was only 20 years old. It was a Sanyo which I thought was a good brand. It runs on three D cells and so lasts a long long time on battery power.

I opened it up. I did not find any leaking capacitors or burnt tracks. When I plugged in an ear phone it worked.

I guessed that the speaker was faulty. I found a replacement speaker at Jaycar for $4.95. After installing a new speaker it was working again.
