Hi Zel,

Can't help with your stereo output problem, but you may be interested to learn that the 'BAND' switch on your Rigonda is likely to control the BANDwidth of the AM radio (MW/LW/SW). Some of the more upmarket Rigondas featured well specified radios which included this function. The switch will basically switch between wide (full audio frequency response) & narrow (limited audio frequency response but improved selectivity, improved immunity to adjacent channel interference). It's a nice feature to have. Unlikely to be operational on FM/VHF. The Rigonda Bolshoi had a variable control!

Regards,

Seth.
