Re: [IRCA] radio repair

["Bob Young" <youngbob53@xxxxxxx>]

I have two Super Radios, (bought both at yard sales for less than 5 bucks 
each) and they just about the same as a 2 except they have no tweeter, it's 
been a while since I opened them but I'm pretty sure if you get all the 
screws out including the ones in the battery compartment it will come right 
apart, you might want to just blow it out, also could be the variable tuning 
cap shorting out. Usually pots need tuner cleaner not variable caps which 
don't touch unless they have a problem. A shorting variable cap will cause 
the symptom you've described.
