[DML] Re: radio

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Assuming you have a factory radio, it sounds like the tape deck is 
engaged and stuck in auto-reverse, switching back and forth between 
tape heads. (even though you don't have a tape in it now)

When the tape deck is engaged, it cuts out the stereo.

Try popping in a cassette, then ejecting it again to disengage the 
tape deck. Better still, pop a tape in, and hit the auto-reverse a 
few times too.

Assuming you have the Craig stereo and not the ASI, the displays are 
fed by a ribbon cable. They are known to crack after many years of 
being folded over when a cassette is inserted in the player. The fix 
is difficult and requires advanced soldering skills.

Even though the display is out, you should still be able to un-stick 
the tape deck and get it playing again.

Hope this helps,
