I am taking a look at a Lorenz multiband table radio for the friend of a friend. It was reported to be dead. A length of power cord had totally rotten insulation, so I replaced that. I also prophylactically set the power transformer primary tap at 127V (seems like a good idea; whaddya think?) from 110.
I have two questions; please excuse my ignorance on non-US radios!
1) I see a couple of metal tabs/prongs above the voltage selector. One is broken off. I am guessing/assuming a mains fuse might have been wedged into these. Am I correct? There is no sign of the fuse (nor the broken-off prong).
2) Exactly how does one turn one of these on? :-P I am guessing just hit a function button (e.g., "MW"); and hit "Aus" to turn it off (although
aus means "from"; maybe it has other meanings I've forgotten).
Sorry to be so naive. Thanks for your help!
