Knackered Radio

[Sarah]

As per topic title. It'll hold a signal for 20 minutes before dissolving into nothing. Not even hiss. Just nuffink' Very frustrating when I want to hear those cliff-hanger conclusions to Radio 4 plays. (No sniggering at the back, please). Barring getting a new radio thingy, any (tentative) diagnoses?

Is it the 6000?

Pull it out and check the antenna cable.

 

[Sarah]

Yep. How do I pull it out? Girlie question, I know...

 

[Neil]

There's two square holes either side of the unit. Halfords sell some prongs that slot into these, clipping in place allowing you to pull the unit out. Alternatively, you can bodge some together using wire coat hangar, but watch you don't scratch the front!

Also check that the front security panel is not loose

Removal keys are on ebay for a couple of quid - Halfords might be way more. Make sure you pull outwards as you remove it.

Unzip and pull!!....oops, sorry, wrong thread

I've seen a PC5-74 and a PC5-75 removal thingies from Halfords. Which one is best for removing the stereo? They look similar but I really don't know!

Thank you!
