My phono radio button on my 46-1209 seems to be wearing out. I have to keep playing with the button to get the radio to play. No issue when pressed in for phono. Any suggestions how to fix this ? I do have a donor. Chassis.

How about trying to clean it?
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
