Little-by-little finding the problems with the C3's radio/cassette-player..
Leaky cap, corroded read head, cracked solder joints..
And the one I caused in the learning process.. a blown resister.
Hopefully, I've made my last Mouser order to get it fully functional.
Learned a LOT
Also, (even with the rough start) Grok's been a HUGE help with this project.
idk if I would have had the patience to research and learn this stuff solo, without assistance
