Fisher stereos are famous for cold solder joints and loose/faulty leads. |

IOW, the receiver blanks it's output when there is no station tuned. This is normal. There is probably a switch to defeat the feature...perhaps when the receiver is in mono, interstation noise is not muted...many receivers work that way. If all of the other functions of the unit work, then what you have is not a problem, but a 'feature.' jak |

Strange.... jak |
