Thank you Mark, I am understanding the circuit better now but would ask WHY? seems to be an unnecessary complication for a cheap radio.
On first checking the electrolytic caps they seem to be in the ballpark, I will disconnect one end of them and test properly later.
The dial cord is a devil to do, its behind the backlight panel and is the thinnest cord I have ever seen.
Its as thin as a wire drive and rotten. I tried joining it but it snaps again when you wind to the end of the scale.
I will have to find some very thin super strong cord, my stock bead cord at 0.9mm is way too thick.
