    boston receptor hd radio got very hot

    you know its too hot in there when the speaker port melts.
    a cap exploded near the audio output chip who's heatsink did not have a thermal pad.there was a gap between the heatsink and the chip.
    i used a poly to give it a better chance but its probably a waste as this model was beat performance wise by a 1941 zenith aa5!

      clock radio / radio lifespan?
      by shelby5041
      hi
      ive got a modern digital clock radio approx 15yrs old

      my question is how long can a clock radio or a simple radio last ss farcas operating hours?

      since elec components have limited hour lifecspan i would imagine the radio or clock radio would eventually fail.

      the reason i ask is because i have my clock radio on radio function 24/7 for the past 7 years and its still working fine....i leave the radio on ..never turn off past 7years...thats approx 60000 hours

      it uses very little power just a few watts i would imagine that may have something...

      Schematic vs. Reality: Where Are the Resistors on My Sharp Clock Radio? Model FY-70CH
      by TinkerTron
      Hey everyone,

      I'm currently working on a mid-70s Sharp Electronic Digital Clock Radio, Model FY-70CH. I found the service manual online, printed it out, and have been studying it for a while. My main reasons for tackling this are: (1) I want to learn electronics and figured I'd start with something I had on hand, and (2) I want to fix its issues. Right now, the radio sounds awful, has about 5V DC at the speaker terminals, and the alarm time setting doesn't work. But I'm not asking how to fix these problems.

      Instead, here's what's been bugging me so far:
      The schematic...
