After about a week of fiddling with this newly acquired thrif shop find, this is the only (real) problem it seemed to have developped, and overnight!

Bummer!! (I had installed it as my first vintage office rig, where I would rarely listen to anything but FM)

Even though there are audible contact fuzzy distorsions when switching sections and manipulating the volume control, all sections were working fine - esp. the stereo FM and the Aux. ones were particularly gorgeous to my newbie ear (phono sounds like it needs a bit of "cleaning-up")! ...Then all of a sudden FM is dead! The three fuses I could find in there (I am technically challenged... if you were wondering...) look OK. T antena is plugged on the 300 ohms/BAL poles... When switched on FM mode, all meters are dead, the source and stereo lights remain out, and no sound whatsoever all accross the band... And switching from stereo to mono does nothing either. (But AM band is good!)
