Lawrence,
Understand your frustration, but a bit less sarcasm, please
Pagu,
What experience do you have? Looking at previous posts, you've indicated that you're a beginner - that's fine; we can help. Indeed, it's stated in our ethos that we are especially welcoming to beginners. However, without the set in front of us, we need a bit more to go on.
Could you provide a bit more detail, please? Is it the same on all wavebands? As the Sovereign III consists of two separate tuners for AM and FM, knowing that might help us to narrow down the fault. If it's the same on AM (LW/MW) and FM, then that points to an audio fault.
What, if any test equipment do you have access to? If you need advice about buying some cheap-but-good stuff to get you started, we can guide you.
Are you sure the batteries are good? Have you got another set so we can try swapping the audio amp? As well as the Sovereign III, the same amplifier is used in the Super-Sovereign, Black Knight and Silver Knight.
In return for our efforts to help, you'll need to put in some legwork to learn the subject - it's a two-way street. There are lots of good resources on the web - for transistor radios, I'd start with this one: http://www.vintage-radio.com/repair-rest...index.html
