bad blew final drivers audio chip power regulator the radio was only good for parts. he used to let you watch your repair on camera just a big puff of smoke. he took out my 4 amp fuse put in a 20 amp fuse burnt all the traces on the board. that was my pride and joy radio. so you see why i have nothing good to say about timmy boy
This thread has went way too far. I do not BELIEVE for a minute that anyone that KNEW even a sliver of radio repair would put a 20A fuse in a radio.
I decided long ago to stop using fuses during repairs on radios. I have made some of these things:
That makes it so I don't have to hope I have the right size fuse, and fuses are way overpriced anyway. Buy a circuit breaker for around $5, if I remember correctly, and do this. I have a 2A, 3A, and 5A one, and if something happens, the breaker trips instead of blowing a fuse.
Also, if you have a fuse inside an open fuse holder, you can take a burnt out fuse and solder one of those circuit breakers across them and put them in their holder. I haven't yet figured out a plug and play way to replace the fuses that insert into a closed holder with a circuit breaker.

Maybe he thought it was a 2.0 amp. either that or he was looking for the smoke signals to indicate where the problem was.
