I see it's on Yahoo and there's a lot of stuff from Yahoo dot come that 
is black listed so that maybe why it's not coming up in my browser. They 
don't appear to be using any blocked scripts, but going into the trouble 
shooter I find "Error in parsing value for property "font", Declaration 
dropped.  So it  appears they are using some code that is not compatible 
with  Firefox on LINUX.

That is a bad thing to break in an older radio.

Depending on where it broke, it is possible to splice the things.  Of 
course the ends are paper thin and there is no room for anything extra 
in those places. I'd guess it probably broke in the bend which means a 
splice would have to be flexible.  That would be tricky.

If it's a simple straight cable there are probably replacements, but if 
it's one of those with odd shapes finding one could prove more than a 
little difficult.

Thanks for the clarification.
