If the radio does not power on when you press the respective button
(BTW: does setting the time work?), it's probably the infamous ribbon
cable that has failed. Pre-1997 models are particularly prone to this.

I'm thinking about getting one of these, but I'm curious now that you've
mentioned it: how do you tell if a particular receiver is pre-1997 or
not?

Also, is there a provision for loading up the memories via computer, or
does it all have to be done by hand (frequencies and text labeling of
presets)?
