I just picked this up a few days ago, so I have no idea if it has been serviced. Just tried to start it up today, but all I get is humming coming from the speaker. I tried it on all the bands, but nothing. I noticed that whoever had it before had an on/off button hooked up. I disconnected it, and the original on/ off has a short in it. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Any idea why I might be getting the humming when I turn on the radio?
