tl dr Does anyone have experience with this system not powering up?
So I saw these at the local surplus place I visit on the way home from work from time to time, they wanted $20, but then couldn't get them to power on, plus the DIN cable for the right speaker (the one with all the controls) had a broken pin so he offered it to me for $10. I had gone in the back and looked through the other miscellaneous speakers a few minutes before and there was still a set of used fronts for this system for sale, by themselves, which have been there for months, for $10, with good pins in both DIN cables. So I told the guy I'd by the system for $10, then I put it in my car, went back in and bought the other set of fronts for $10 so $20 is not bad for this system IF it worked.
Unfortunately, it will not power on. There is a hot spot on the bottom cover, which is right where one of several regulators are inside. I don't see any components inside which look obviously toasted and the fuse appears to be good.
I've been researching this system and no power seems to be a pretty common issue, but no solution is ever mentioned. I really want to make this system work, again so any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Pictures to come...
