    87 delco radio isn't playing properly

    I have a 87 delco radio (rpo code ux1) model # 16051911 with a five band eq. It plays at about 1/2 the volumn with volumn turned all the way up,and sound distorted,also the 60 hz eq button doesnt have no change on the sound, the other four buttons seems to be operating ok.
    I put a friends radio in,to see if it were the speakers,his radio plays great.I think my radio is bad.
    I really need some help on this, as I would like to keep the original radio with the car.Radio is in a 87 monte carlo ss.
    If any one can help me on this,your help will be greatly appreciated,Thanks!!LAC1.

              A car is a harsh environment for electronics. The temp cycling up and down causes lots of problems with solder. Take it apart and examine all the solder points.

                  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...

                  Vintage SONY Digital Clock Radio ICF-C12W no audio
                  by UserXP
                  Dear all,

                  I have this old radio clock by Sony from the early 80s, I guess. The clock display works, but is dim, the function board appears to be OK - but the radio unit shows no signs of life. It doesn't produce a single noise, crack or anything from either FM or AM band. It's like it doesn't even power up.
                  i opened the radio and it is full of some TRACON gray capacitors. They only have their negative strip printed, voltage and capacitace markings - no series, no temperature marking, nothing else.
                  My question is, do you know of this brand of capacitors and how bad are...

                  Delco radio stopped working
                  by Too Tall
                  I have a Delco radio, Model # 16034753
                  It's an Am/Fm Cassette with digital display. It came out of a 88 Suburban.
                  The radio worked fantastic before I took it out of the Suburban.
                  I asked a friend who's very good at electronics, to see what it would take to eliminate the cassette player and put in an acc feed.
                  He only opened it up to check for power feeds etc, and what he would need to put in an acc feed.
                  This radio is going in my daughter's 81 pickup. She said she's going to use Bluetooth accessory through the FM.
                  Sorry for long story!
