I have a bose wave radio that does not get any stations and has to be turned to maximum sound to get any static....should we try to get it fixed or toss it???
Hi, Mine did the same thing. I took the cover off and took the radio apart. I discovered the FM/AM tuning crystal was separated from the mother board (soldering failed). Anyway, when figured out where the crystal went I reinserted it and it worked great. I considered gluing it back in but opted to test my soldering skills and it worked out just fine. The crystal is a small silver electrical component with 2 prongs that plug into the motherboard.
