Hi All,

I have a fairly old but lightly used Sherwood R 125 RDS ss FM receiver
but note the FM tuner has died.

Well, it's working in as much it appears to auto tune and lock onto a
station and with the volume turned up you can hear it trying to work
but it's if it's heavily muted (and distorted). FWIW the AM side seems
'alive' but I have no aerial on there atm to really test it.

I *think* I had something similar years ago on an old Memorex FM tuner
and I think that was the cct that muted the signal between stations
muting all the time?

Anyone seen this before and any ideas re a fix please (as it's quite a
nice unit otherwise).

Cheers, T i m

You aren't getting confused with Robin Hoods 'hood' are you?

Are you sure it's the tuner and not the amp to which it's connected?

Take it you don't have a schematic so that would be your first step.
Then trace with a signal tracer and see if you can find your missing
audio?
