Default Selga 405 audio problem.

I've already made a post regarding this radio. But thought I would start a dedicated repair thread.

Basically the receiver part of the radio works, I've tapped into the detector using an external amp. I noticed one side of the output transformer was loose so I removed it from the board and seen that the wires had broke off the primary side, So it's useless.

I stuck an output transformer from one of those cheapo Chinese kit radios in but still no sound, Not a pop or hiss.

The radio is drawing 4mA which would suggest a problem elsewhere, But I'm no expert.

Funny thing is the schematic shows the speaker connected to the secondary (two contacts) side of the transformer. But it's actually connected to the primary side (centre tapped side)

Speaker is 8 ohms.

Cheers, Jay.
