only by replacement but then again the cost would be worth more than a new unit

The fuse is sealed inside the adapter. It cannot be replaced.

In North America, the voltage is nominally 110v. In London, 230. You may only have blown a fuse or the AC adapter, but you could have fried the whole unit.

IT is in the batter compartment...on a sticker...toward the bottom of the radio...it should start with G3............

Constant usage of DAB should not cause it any damage ever. The dropouts are very characteristic of a poor signal reaching the DAB tuner, as digital is either there, or not there, nothing in between. Check the aerial connection if any, the rod antenna if any, and try moving the antenna (whatever it is) to a better location, usually higher up, away from thick walls, and away from speakers if any.

You have buttons to press to change the modulation. FM covers regular FM band: 76 MHz (Japan) to 108 MHz and the higher frequency ones used for Air and Weather. AM covers the Long waves (in Europe), the regular AM band (520 kHz-1700 kHz), and the Short wave bands 2MHz 30 MHz It seems that you can tune the frequency in by direct entry with the number keys. I do not see the image of the face of the radio but from my experience with many Grundig/Eton you should have two buttons with arrows (left A and Right Arrow) or two buttons with + and Minus (not the volume buttons). If you are in SW, pressing one of the buttons changes the tuning to the adjacent Meter band.

Try a cleaner/lubricant contact spray. Available @ Radio Shack. Pull out and spray into it, re attach knob and turn in off a number of times. Turn all the way. If problem persist your radio may have a loose wire or solder.

Audio output final is blown. I hope it is not an IC.

Press down somewhat firmly on the battery cover and slide with your thumb downward...it should slide off....Just be careful not to snap or break the tabs that attach the battery door to the body of the radio. It's really very simple!!!

Here is a link to the manual for your radio. http://www.etoncorp.com/sites/default/files/GS750_Manual.pdf

With old radios it worked to connect the antenna to some central radiator or (metallic) water pipe. Some old wire was used to connect it;

Simple wire can make a great antenna, and it's relatively inexpensive. I've had the best shortwave and AM reception thus far using a long loop (actually a rectangle) of copper wire as an antenna (but folks shouldn't try a loop with some radios designed for use with powered antennas without inserting an appropriate capacitor in series). If you do try wire, you would want to try to make the loop shape as large as possible, and connect the ends of the wire to your radio's antenna connectors.

I recently had the same issue as Mando above -- what I found is that Q1 was temperature sensitive. Hit it with some cold spray and on came the am/fm -- Replaced it with a 2n2222 and all is well -- May not be the problem with all sets, but suspect that the Lot of Chinese transistors may have had a problem as I have heard this before. Good luck --

I have talked to the gentleman who designed this radio and he said that in order to correct this problem two pins on the inside of the front panel must be shorted while 6.2 volts dc is fed to the battery terminals. The whole radio must be disassembled to reach these pins, I have not been able to find a service manual to help me locate said pins. If anyone out there can find out where to get a service manual please contact [email protected]
