Magnadyne Radio Problem

[wmhouck]

Has anyone experienced a problem operating the Magnadyne radio with the panel switch in the "house" mode? I have changed switches, jumpered wires, and trouble shot the thing from every angle, but can't make it work. It works fine in the "engine" mode position. Have taken voltage readings for both of the two 12 volts leads that go into the radio, from the "house" position, and the readings fluctuate. With both jumpers on I read "0" volts....with only one jumper on, I read full voltage. Seems like a backfeed of voltage. Thought initially I had a broken wire or loose connector, but I don't. Any ideas?

Didi you remember to turn on the main house battery switch? I sometimes forget to do that and lose all my presets.

Wmhouck, have you put your "speaker selector switch" into the proper position?.. I can't tell what you are driving, but if its some sort of a "Bago" the switch is in a brass colored plate, likely in your pass. side o'head compartment...rgr...
