Hi All,

I have a vintage Sharp WF-A50 am/fm/sw double cassette. Until recently everything was working perfectly. The FM radio suddenly stopped. Was using one evening. Turned it off. Next evening turned it on and nothing on FM except static noise. Radio had not been moved in the intervening period. AM and SW still working perfectly. The telescopic aerial and connection from aerial to the board is intact. Can anyone please point me in the right direction...what to look for. I have very basic electronic skills...I guess I'm looking/hoping for quick easy fix

Thanks...Paddy 'DownUnder'

Give the selector switch a good squirt of crc.
Hi...Tried that thanks. Just about drowned it with contact cleaner. Has worked in the past with other units...bit of spray and wiggle switch back and fwds. If I can open switch without removing from board I'll have a peep inside. Regards...Paddy
