It could be a blow capacitor, check the things that look like this. If its blown it'll be leaking a yellow brownish liquid shit onto the PCB.

It was a joke you nerd.

This guy is right, on an old machine like that it's almost certainly a blown cap.

Yeah op that's a blown cap, if its fresh its liquid if its been building up over time solid. Any more leaking like that need to be replaced. Look at the marking jotting down the uf and voltage.

I think I found the cause, the fuse might have died

Yeah that fuse is blown. It'll work if you get a new one.
Blown capacitors = not superb audio tho.

>>893399 replaced the fuse with a fuse from a flux capacitor, it now works,

We could tell you what it is if you take a pic of it, but you still need to be able to buy a new one and replace it.

See this shit? It tells you it has 0.33uF capacitance.

There ought to be a marking with some numbers and a V, that's the voltage rating.

You just need to get some caps to replace the blown ones with the same(or close to it) capacitance and equal or greater than voltage rating.

Won't be hard to find, as they're all standardized values and available at any store that sells electronics components. If you don't know how to solder you should check out a tutorial.

I think Im not sure that the two gray wires are the left and right signal while the brown would be the ground, but where the wires meet at the board is what is making me confused

Then why the fuck are you here?

Look faggot, if you come to /diy/, you can ask a question.
Your question has been answered what you need to /diy/ to get your radio working.

It's still /diy/ and you need to TO DO IT YOUR FUCKING SELF. I hate these gutless faggots that need to be taken by the hand every goddamn step of the way. Pick up a book once in a while, or can't you read nigger?
