hi guys,just took delivery of a mint gf 575E.only one major problem-the radio doesnt work-ive tried all the switches to no effect,and the previous owner who delivered it for me this morning says hes tried switch cleaner in it a few times to no avail-interestigly,when you put it in radio mode and hover the needle over a station that you know is fm stereo,then the fm stereo beacon doesnt even light-im thinking a loose wire inside?the chap i got it off has had it a couple of years and its never worked for him neither :hmmm:
please dont say its the dreaded cap disease :hmmm: as i can just see it costing major money to put right :-/
on the other hand it has line in of course,and both tapes are working fine,so its still a great day for me :yes:

Have you tried PM?...though not sure what difference the time of day makes? :-D
Actually I know your trying to be funny but time of day does have an effect on radio broadcasts... So does weather, land, buildings and so on ;-)
