Ok,grills in,cabinets on, and Yes,it powers on but only on AC.
On batteries the tuner will turn on and change stations but no lights,no power when tape is turned on.The battery connections were somewhat corroded but I filed them so it should be getting good contact.hmmm??
But on AC it works beautifully,all lights,dial light and the sound is amazing!!!
Tape is working perfectly to,I'm really,really psyched that this has been resurrected from the dead!!! Thanks Devol-Toni for the power supply board and transformer and voltage wheel !!!!!
Now I'm wondering if my tuner AA's aren't good enough,so tomorrow I'll put new alkalines in there and see if that helps.
The batteries were good last I tested so I'll try new 10 D's also,man I'd so love to get this to power up on batteries!!!
One other noted it,switch is best for tuning on first setting? Meaning it tunes on the 5's instead of the 10's. But on that setting it tunes in strong and tuning light comes on and Stereo light to!!
A little strange as if the station is 96.9 it pulls in strongly on 96.85 but if I tune it to to 96.9 it isn't really tuned in as the stereo light and tuning light go off.
Not a big deal but on AM it doesn't tune in for USA stations.
FM,cool, I'm just ecstatic that it works so beautifully on AC!!
Now I got to get this battery connection thing or whatever is going on going!!!
Here's some photos of the resurrected Sharp GF-9595H.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,I'd love any suggestions here.
I may have to take the back off and test voltage coming from the battery compartment!
