AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on troubleshooting a 1965 GM car radio that has stopped working after intermittent issues for decades. Participants suggest that the problem may stem from oxidized contacts or cracked solder joints, emphasizing the importance of inspecting the circuit board closely. They discuss the expected resistance readings for the radio's components and the potential failure of electrolytic capacitors and carbon resistors. The conversation also highlights the need for a schematic to understand the circuit better and troubleshoot effectively. Overall, the consensus is to methodically check connections and components to identify the fault causing excessive current draw.
