				Railroad Spectra will not power on

				I have a dash mount original railroad Spectra and it has gone dead and will not power on.  I just use it as a monitor on my desk. Is there a common cure for this problem?

				The most common problem with those radios is bad capacitors.  There may be obvious leakage and circuit board damage.
