Default Sangean ATS-808A problems

Hi,

I have been given a Sangean ATS-808A that has a few problems and would
like your help please.

No Audio from speaker or headphone jack.
All wires appear to be connected correctly.
Speaker is ok. Volume control is ok.

No manual tuning when turning rotary tuning knob.
Direct entry and up/down funtion ok.

Signal strength shows full scale indication on all or any frequency.

Should I bother trying to fix these problems or are they beyond help?

Thanks,
Mark.


MARK - Don't waste the Money on repairing the Sangean ATS-808A Radio.

The Sangean PT-80 ProTravel Radio is the same size as the
Sangean ATS-808A Radio.

Etón E10 Radio is also about that size.

Grundig G4000A is too.

IMHO "The Best Buy" - I would recommend the
Sony ICF-SW7600GR Radio which has the
AM-SYNC feature and is a very good Radio
in that size range.
