    Sony CFS-B11 Radio cassette boom box

    Hi all,

    I am trying to diagnose this small radio/cassette player where the audio cuts out after a few seconds - then comes back, then repeats.

    I've checked the voltage and current coming from the PS board and it seems fine.

    I've also powered it from a bench PS and the fault remains.

    All of the electrolytics on the audio board are normal with no high ESR's or bulging tops.

    Any ideas?

    I've attached the service manual for the unit.

    Many thanks.

    Check the headphone jack, there is a contact lock for the speakers.

      It doesn't seem to be the headphone jack. I've connected directly to the outputs of the TA8229K (P3+P5) and it still happens

          Does the sound disappear on all functions "FM", "AM", "TAPE"?

            yes it does on FM/AM/SW (the tape deck is non functional due to lack of belts).
            I've checked the supply voltage to the tuner IC (CXA1238S) (and when working the supply is 4.2V then it disapears to 0.2V when there is no audio o/p

              check the input to the amp i.c. - it could be cutting out from an internal fault.

                If there is a bolon with liquid for cleaning contacts, then you can puff to the contact groups of the switches and click them back and forth (contact may disappear in them).

                  I think it might be the amplifier that is intermittantly shorting which drags the supply down.

                    The switches have been disasembled and cleaned with super 10

                      The supply to IC301 should be 7.6 volts on pin 1, Pin 18 is a 4.8v output that is switched by the ic, This output controls the base of Q303 which supplies 4.1 volts to the tuner board, that's why that voltage is changing.

                        Did you have this problem before or after you disassembled the switches?

                          Sony CFS-5000S radio cassette player no FM reception
                          by mikey5791
                          Hi forum members,

                          In the past i have had many helpful hints from generous forum members in diagnosing and solving issue related to most of my electrical things.

                          Fyi, i have been keeping this unit of Sony radio cassette player as the cassette belting has worn off but the radio has been working fine before. Recently, out of a sudden i found out i can't get any radio reception at all (no signal from FM,MW or SW band) except some buzzing warp noise from the speakers.

                          I opened the casing inside and checked for any dry solder, burned component or loose wires...

                          clock radio / radio lifespan?
                          by shelby5041
                          hi
                          ive got a modern digital clock radio approx 15yrs old

                          my question is how long can a clock radio or a simple radio last ss farcas operating hours?

                          since elec components have limited hour lifecspan i would imagine the radio or clock radio would eventually fail.

                          the reason i ask is because i have my clock radio on radio function 24/7 for the past 7 years and its still working fine....i leave the radio on ..never turn off past 7years...thats approx 60000 hours

                          it uses very little power just a few watts i would imagine that may have something...
