Was working, now trying to burn up!
#27

Yes, you do. Do not attempt to apply power to that radio again until you have replaced the speaker wiring harness, and any other frayed/substandard wire. This could possibly have caused your 7Y4 to go bad.

Now...

As far as rudeness, if any of us on the mod team see any of that going on, we will blow the whistle on it. It isn't allowed per Phorum rules. As Sam said (and I concur), I don't think Warren was purposely trying to be rude. Warren even said he was sorry if you misunderstood him. We're all only trying to help.

OK, boys, carry on...
