Re: OT : A puzzlement - regarding my EMerson radio/cd/cassette player - any ideas?
Well that solder joint idea that you and PJ mentioned is intriguing - I was jsut sort of interested in it turning out to be something that is , as they say today, "a thing". I have left it on radio since I wrote earlier - and just now I popped in a cassette and it played. So for now, I can either just leave it on or turn it on ahead of when I want to listen :-) Thanks guys! ann On 7/29/2016 4:37 PM, Mark Roberts wrote: ann sanfedele wrote: Mark - The" power supply" is an outlet in my wall - is that what you mean?

There could be a cold break in a solder joint. The electronics don't need to warm up but the break in the joint needs to warm up to make contact. It's unlikely but not impossible.
