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...

Hello there!
Have this Philips with no image at all. When I plug it to the outlet, it turns on without pressing the power button, and after a moment, it turns off, then starts again. I checked the 12v and 3.3v voltages on the main board connector that goes to the T-con, but it only has the former (12v). Any clues, guys?... -
As this is a brand new forum, I thought I'd open up a thread to encourage new members to introduce themselves a bit.. now hey.. let's not get too personal.. ok ?
And if you wouldn't mind to keep this thread \"clean\" let's try to keep the the chitchat (i.e. even the welcome to the board replies) to a minimum or this thread may get to 100 pages fast
So I'll start things off :
My name is petabyte and I'm a forum junkie. :oops:
I've been off the wagon for a number of years and countless times I've tried to stop but it's useless.....
