Hi Terry
You very clever person, your last suggestion to try first was spot on.
Here is the naughty little C331 capacitor, doesn't it look innocent, no marks or damage.
It was fluctuating between 5 and 8 mA when connected to a 6 v supply.
I have found this little radio one of the most difficult to repair. Its lucky it is a fairly rare one, (I have never seen this model before, in the 7 years of scanning Ebay for RGD transistor radios) it nearly got slung out the window on at least 2 occasions.
You have saved the day again, its working on FM & MW, I have yet to check LW but that shouldn't be an issue.
Thanks very much Terry and all who contributed.
Mike
