Radio-Shack Tandy Realistic AM Radio.
This little radio was donated to the shop, about a year ago, and I just found it when I was tidying up. I decided that would be a good idea to have a quick look to see if it was anything simple.
After replacing a few capacitors that had very much leaked, it still didn’t have any sound. Can you possibly see why-
Yes, that’s right the speaker wire had corroded and broken off. Looking at the other side it didn’t look too bad, so I thought I would attempt a very basic repair, that of soldering a wire to the working side of the speaker, poke it through and solder the flexible wire on the other side.
Not perfect, but pretty good, it’s structurally sound and also it works. Another little radio saved from doom.
