    The Sonomatic AM radio in my 68 Skylark is not producing sound. The light in the face turns on when I turn on the radio, but no sound comes out. I have searched under the dash to see if maybe the radio is disconnected from the speakers, but I have not located any unconnected wires. Could someone please tell me what I am looking for under the dash or if another probelm exists.

    Thank you,
    Jacob

    Try a different speaker first, I have found several friend's cars that the speaker was blown. If that doesn't work, it's probably the big transistors for the amplification. I have several '68 Radio's if you don't get it to work.
