ATS 803a
 
My ATS 803a, having been turned on 24/7 since
1975, finally stopped working. I suppose I could
try factory reset and stuff but what the hell.

Just thought I should mark the occasion. Pretty
good reliability.

The wall wart, clock and light still work but it
won't turn on.

The ATS 803a has only been since 1989, this an early prototype model
available in 1975?

Didn't your SuperRadio die the same way (on 24/7) a year and a half ago?

If you tape the light button down, you'll still be able to read the clock 24/7,

Well, at least the wall wart is re-usable and not half-ass backwards like a
piece of **** Sony

You might be right. I was thinking I got it right when I moved out here and dating it
that way. Maybe it was later. Anyway on 24/7 for decades.

The big topic at the time was the anti-chuff mod, which I quickly applied.
