Just cleaned up my Realistic STA-100 I receiver as part of a bundle that included 4 receivers - all supposedly not working. 3 of them work to my surprise. This STA-100 sounds great after a contact cleaning. Only thing - no lights. I thought maybe it was bad bulbs but that troubleshooting idea did not give results. Anyone familiar with what it could be?

I honestly don’t know what the heck I’m doing when trying to read schematics. Any chance you could take a screenshot, edit it to circle the 1.5 amp fuse on the photo, and post it?

It should be the fuse on the right.
Troubleshooting - No Sound ( Realistic STA-100 )
Hello AK, Just picked up a low powered Realistic STA-100 in great shape with no sound for $10, I was told by the original owner that his kid played it very loud and abused it with in-efficient speakers until it stopped working. The sole reason for this purchase was to practice / learn...

Just an old fart trying to help.
This the image you're referring to?
Looks like 1.5 amp, 250 volts. Note-glass fuses come in different lengths so get the proper length. If you can't find one locally I've had good luck buying fuses on ebay. Auto stores carry fuses but they may be for 12 volt systems.
With luck it's on the top of the circuit boards. All OP would need to do is remove the cover and replace the fuse. Easy peasy. Make sure the unit is unplugged while changing the fuse.

I believe this is the photo they are referring to. 1.5A 250V fuse. Not sure on the dimensions. Looks like 6mm x 30mm or 5mm x 20mm? I guess physically taking the old one out and measuring it is the safest way to determine that. I don’t believe the manual or schematics would tell me that info.
