i`m in hog heaven. after inspection of my left rear amp, i found two burned looking transistors. i had an old amp that i`d replaced about 6 years ago. they had the same transistors so i said what the heck, nothing to lose. took both of them and a soldering gun to the kitchen table. my dad was a radio/tv repairman when i was growing up so i have a little soldering experience. about 2 hours later i was ready to try. the gods were with me. it actually worked

. this radio works perfectly now=D> . i`m as willie nelson says, "on the road again". to shorten the story, i`d recommend f.s.c.r. in florida for radio repair........richard.....
