The radio has been completely restored...All caps replaced and resistors that were out of tolerance.Radio plays well on Am
and shortwave with good fidelity.When I try to play MP3 or bluetooth thru the rca plug on the xformer,It sounds real tinny with very little bass.
Is there a problem with the transformer or is the phono xformer not able to have good bass response thru it?
Before I send the BOL off to Westek for rebuild I would like to know if that xformer is good.
Here is a link to the schematic from Nostalgia Air:  http://www.nostalgiaair.org/pagesbymodel...013487.pdf
The part number is:32-8196 for the xformer..The pri reads 103 ohms and the sec reads 1596ohms....RCA input reads around 10 ohms..
TKS in advance...
