I hope someone is still monitoring this old (but very useful) thread.a friend asked me to repair his Wave AWR1-1W (9V battery backup) which had the completely unresponsive w/ the loud crunching noise when unplugging problem.
More details available here: Antique Radio Forums Ĭan receive FM signals, but no AM stations The large 10000uf filter cap usually does not need to be replaced. The display board capacitors cannot stick up higher then the display does. To properly repair a generation 1 wave radio you will need for the main board and equalizer board: Most of them are overdue for a complete change of electrolytic capacitors. The Bose wave radio does not turn off when the on/off button is pressed, it just mutes the audio, and so your radio could have been on for 20 plus years. Open it up and check for stains around the electrolytic capacitors, this is a sign of blown or leaky caps. If your old Bose radio is not working, barely working or otherwise.
