so I had to peak inside, things look ok...
so I figured as long as it is dead, I will start turning adjustment do hickeys
well, it works now!
tweaking the adjusters inside the tin can cover, very gently started bring in sound, i continued till I got the highest readings on the meter on the lcd...sounds pretty good, no static...could be better and more stations, but my normal ones come in and sound fine
not getting real strong readings on the meter, but my house does suck for reception
at least it works now
Im sure there is voodoo in those knobs, but I have decent sounding fm now
any tips on setting it better, or just leave it as is and consider myself lucky?
