Rage Repairing a Stereo?
#1

Ok, I think I just 'rage repaired' a Zenith Allegro stereo. The one I thought was fried on one channel now works as long as I don't switch it all the way over to the AM band. I was just sort of slamming the controls back and forth, frustrated that cleaning them did nothing and it came back to life. Icon_crazy  Oh, I also gave it a 'thwap' against the side with my hand as I was about to give up on it. Only downside to that is the dial light flickers a tiny bit now, but as long as it works, I'm not fussing with it until I redo the record changer this fall. I'll have to post a picture of this odd beast later on here.

No matter where you go, there you are.
