Hi Chaps

Just obtained a Roberts R24 Radio.

Sure enough the On/Off switch does not work. Looking at the switch I see it’s a DP/DT and the off contacts were not used. So I swapped the +9V and the two aerial wires to the contacts. The result is that the radio works fine. When the On/Off button is pressed down it’s off and up is ON
Quick and easy fix. I don’t have a circuit drawing of this radio so can’t see if there are any problems with this?

Regards Royston
