<VV> Radio Question

[Rick Beets]

Not always,  if the voice coil has seized to the pole piece, then no sound.
To check the speaker, take an ohm meter and put the leads across the 
disconected speaker wires to see if you have any resistance (should be 
around 10 ohms or so - not shorted or open)  if this checks OK, remove the 
speaker and gently push on the cone, it should move with some resistance but 
not scrape or drag.  If these checks are OK then radiocould have gone bad 
(or a bad speaker could have taken out your radio, rare but it has 
happened).

Happy Trails!
