I looked at everything I could find, but didn't see anyone reporting

My radio is now just ticking as of yesterday...was listening to a stream
and...croak.
I see several threads involving this issue but I haven't yet seen if
anyone has been able to fix the problem. I have to run something else

I found a bench-level repair guy who was willing to look at it, and he
thinks it is a MOSFET:
"found a short across the main power input"
"having a rough time identifying the exact part number of the MOSFET
that's failing"
So, we'll see where this goes.
If this goes well, I have a bass amp he c

Someone told me that Mouser has no minimum order and charges per regular

My comment was based on my experience as a domestic electrician. Some of
the jobs I get asked to but have to turn down because they're just not
worth doing even if charged less than my normal hourly rate.

When I picked up the radio on Thursday I mentioned I would use this info
