One thing that maybe the trouble is the battery for the memory
could be gone. Just replace the battery and try resetting the
memory. It should only cost you about $10.00 for the battery
or less and some elbow grease. You can get the manuals at:

I do know other people who have had the radio and in working
order it is a damn good radio. New it sold for between $500.00
and $1000.00 depending on country. Find a local Ham and see
if they want to try to get it working for the price of parts.

Bought one at a junk store for $10 but all that's on the
screen is 0000.000.00 's and it hums a bit.

Worth fixin'?
My TV guy said he couldn't fix it,
but I should send it to it's maker.
