Kirk, Kirk, kirk,
Did't we teach you nothing?!
Even if the seller says it plays you do your due diligence inspecting the radio, but with cord cut etc....there should be no questions as to what to do first.
Inspect, recap. As a bare minimum recap all that is decoupling the power as a short there can kill the rest and then you incur more problems.
And another piece of advice - seems like you keep buying radios while having a small boneyard of those that are yet to be fixed. Maybe you should start concentrating on electrical, fix them, sort them out....there are plenty of radios, they won't go anywhere.
Buy those you consider must-haves (like for me those are Z Bomber 7G605, or Philco 38-690) and keep your eye on real bargains, but ease up on eBay for a while and start the electrical.
Uness I am mistaken and all your radios play by now?
