Default Binatone pocket radio

Here is a non-working Binatone Commando pocket radio I bought recently. I've taken it apart in an attempt to repair it. The 9V battery clip had a torn wire, so I replaced it. There is still no sound out of it, just a tiny crackle when I switch it on.
The local oscillator seems to be working ok. Not sure about the audio stages though, will need further testing.
The radio has two IF stages and no audio driver or output transformers.
