    Your'e the Master!! Nice radio , but nothing beats the charm of a Roberts Radio. I had a C.Crane CC radio digital read out radio that had the ribbon connectors rot away and the display wouldn't work . I tried every fix. The company acknowledged the problem and said go to hell.
    Never again! only analog radios for me. I really appreciate and enjoy your videos.

    Brilliant, a nice fix with no soldering :-D
    The reset button was hidden too well :-D

      I wasn't expecting that! I was anticipating corroded battery contacts, blown / leaky SMD caps... Brilliant quality radio though to be fair. Must've just had a bump...

      @@Codeeze i first thought the contacts had corroded, like they often do with evil batteries, but i was very wrong.
      I'm happy that i was wrong :-D.
      i will shut up now :-D

    Nice one Paul, easy fix but weird SW reset procedure.

      Thanks Mike! - ingenious way to hide the reset switch in plain sight...

    Ohhh! difficult repairs are always a challenge. I'm surprised that it was fixed as quickly as it was because those sorts of faults usually take a whole sunday afternoon to diagnose.

      Brilliant!
      Was it the battery holder, or the reset?

      ​@Codeeze in my case there was actually some corrosion and damage on the contact pads that the two battery leads touch on. It looks like a battery leaked once and the acid ate through a little. I cleaned the pads with contact cleaner and bent the pin around the damaged part of the pad. Thankfully the pads are oversized for what they are.

      I don't mind the odd one that needs very little done to it, but I prefer at least having to think at least a little more. Nice when it happens though.

      Today yes. But... RTÉ yesterday (31st March 2023) announced that RTÉ Radio 1 will cease broadcasting on Long Wave 252 (LW 252) from Friday 14th April 2023.

    tunning on yb 500 is a nightmare

      Everything is different in operation, I didn't have any issue tuning through on this really - just takes a little practice
