Sounds like the weak little fuse holder needs to be tighted up a bit. This happened to my 8103. -B Les Grammer wrote: I seem to have bad luck with JR radio's.

Re: [RCSE] JR Radio Repair...
Greetings, Horizon has done all all the work on my JR's. They found a cracked solder connnection for me. They've been good on time and cost of repairs and tuneups. I did also have a fuse holder with insufficient holding power. = Dennis Phelan For JR 388/8103 setup and F3b scoring downloads: page rearranged 6/04/01 http://www.geocities.com/dephela/index.html In a crisis, you don't rise to occasion.

Re: [RCSE] JR Radio Repair...we have a winner...
At 06:13 AM 6/11/2001 -0400, a lot of people wrote: Sounds like the weak little fuse holder needs to be tighted up a bit. This happened to my 8103. I, at first, scoffed at this idea, since I went in and checked the fuse a number of times. The fuse was good, and it snapped into place nicely each time I was done. But in thinking further about it ... snapping into place, and fitting in place *are* 2 different things. So, I went in and bent the prongs on the fuse hold together, snapped the fuse back into place, and viola'...we have a functioning radio, and all the previous symptoms have disappeared. Seems solid as a rock now. My thanks to all for the suggestion. (And, by the way, the most popular referral for repair service was Horizon.) -Les Grammer, NWSS RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] JR Radio Repair...we have a winner..second verse
Some people wanted additional info. the radio was a JR 8103, and the fuse carrier is located by removing the frequency module. The fuse is just inside and to the bottom after removing the module. The second most popular repair reference was Kraft Midwest (advertised in RCReport). By the way...*all* the references I received had some positive and negative aspects related about them. -Les Grammer, NWSS RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
