[TenTec] Jupiter Question

[Dukes HiFi]

Loose connections are always a possibility.

This radio is getting tot he age at which electrolytic capacitors are reaching end-of-life. They can cause many odd performance issues.

The thing has just done you a favor, it went dead. It should now be easier to fix.

Hope it’s not the CPU though...
