While watching the evening news on TV this past spring, I realized the distinct smell of burning electronics. I traced it to my den where the FRG-7700 was letting out all of it's "Magic Smoke".  A quick pull of the power cord and out the door we went. The whole radio was really HOT, and completely dead.

Last month I finally open the radio to attempt a repair and found the full wave bridge rectifier and associated space on the 12V DC Power Supply Circuit board burnt to charcoal/carbon. I also found that the mains wiring to the transformer primary were burnt, and shorted together.  What caused this catastrophe is still unknown, I suspect a power surge on the mains. It could just be a simple component failure due to old age, but for whatever reason, I found the radio functioned fine with an external 12V DC supply.

I had to replace the multi-input voltage PS transformer, build a new rectifier/filter/regulator circuit board, and install in the space of the old components. My fix has destroyed the antique value of the radio, but I also have it back in service, used daily, for just the cost of a new transformer.  All other parts were found in my junk box. 

I also added an additional fuse between the PS, and the radio circuit. I know it is just overkill, the primary fuse should protect everything, but it makes me feel better.

Mike.
