SB Radio won't power up, but is ticking?

[Bassman]

I found a bench-level repair guy who was willing to look at it, and he thinks it is a MOSFET:

"found a short across the main power input"
"having a rough time identifying the exact part number of the MOSFET that's failing"

So, we'll see where this goes.

If this goes well, I have a bass amp he can look at, too.

If you can get a clear picture of the part maybe we can figure out what it is.

I might have lost this radio to this person. After a few emails, he no longer is replying. Hmmm...

I got it back and we looked at the part. I posted photos asking for help, here:

Thanks.

Me too

My radio is now just ticking as of yesterday...was listening to a stream and...croak.

I see several threads involving this issue but I haven't yet seen if anyone has been able to fix the problem. I have to run something else to a shop one of these days and am wondering if there's any point in bringing the Radio along.

Try that linked thread in the reply above yours, to read more and see photos.

Then, let us know, please.

The guy I was referred to has quit board repair due to shaking hands.

I looked at everything I could find, but didn't see anyone reporting success.

If I can ever get off my behind and get down to the shop (it's *just* inconvenient enough to make me procrastinate) I'll report back.
