Pres Washington came in for repairs... all I can say is WOW!
I could not get a voltage reading on the thing... so I assumed it was the regulator... replaced that with a 152... still nothing...
THEN I finally found a point to get a voltage reading... 13.9... ok no big deal...
wait what is this? tape on the light? I remove the tape... a resistor? but that is not an LED light... WTF?
I remove the resistor and recheck the voltage... nothing on the meter... I hook the light back up... HOLY CRAP IT IS BRIGHT!!!
I check the voltage on the 200 VOLT scale... WOW 21 VOLTS!!!
then I check the power supply... and notice that the voltage adjustment Pot is cranked all the way up...
turns out that the radio was 'peaked and tuned' by a local 'guru' and this is what he did...
the radio was 100% perfect as far as looks go... what a waste... what a waste...
WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS CRAP???!!!
