You are exactly correct. It turned out to be microprocessor chip. I sent it in to a service center and that is what was reported back. Thank you for all the help.

All I had was static and I did have the B&O AM antenna plugged in. By the way does anyone know where

Yes, I inherited the antenna and all the manuals and cables. The antenna is plugged in. thank you, Kelly Joe
