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.

Install a pair of good alkaline baterries.
Press a resset button on the bottom plate.
Press an ON/OFF button and if you can not use a tunning butons
than ribbon cable inside the radio is defect.

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)?

Post-1997 models, i.e., with the ribbon cable fix, have a different
hinge. The pre-1997 hinge is a continuous solid plastic tube in
between the two halves of the clam shell. The post-1997 hinge has a
slot about 1cm wide near the right hand end of the hinge tube, which
is where the cable is routed.

Hand.

Bummer. It sure would be nice to be able to upload a batch of presets
with a couple of mouse clicks....
