Concertone 600 problem

[chevy02]

First off i like to thank Bob Fields for helping us out. The problem i am having with my stereo it stop coming on and found out that if i pull the fuse to it and waita few second and put fuse back in stereo would come on and play great,well the this weekend it came on but i counldnt get any stations on it and a buddy was picking up all kinds of stations with a boom box with a broken antenna so my questiom to Mr Fields is how do i check the connection of the antenna and if its not the connection what do i need to do to fix this.

You will need to remove your radio and check that the antenna is plugged in for starters...
Depending on your model, you will need to remove the trim ring and take out the screws to remove the unit.
Let me know how you make out.
Best regards,

Wow i pulled out the radio and omg what a rats nest in there i have never seen a mess of wires like that.The wiring is so intertwined that it would take days to unravel that mess.It seemed that the antenna is connected but when i move a hand full of wires the radio came in super clear but i dont know what wires i am grabbing a hold of. Any suggestions ?

Yes, have someone hold the radio while you move one wire
at a time until you find the loose connection.
It might be a ground wire or the antenna.
You've narrowed down the problem to this area, it's time for
some field work on your part. We can't do it for you.
Good luck!

After 28 years in the radio business, I learned when a customer came to me for a radio problem. I just simply started and completely rewired all the "BUBBA" connections to insure a GOOD connection of all the the wiring.

For your satisfaction, I suggest you do the same.

Good Luck

Lots of the crimp nuts on our 2011 Rockwood were not properly crimped (both 12 volt and 120) and some connections just came appart. Our Concertone speakers and power were NOT connected from the factory.

[Bob Fields]

As indicated by others, if you have any indication of any issue you should double check ALL of the wiring (even if it "worked before"). The time it takes you to do this ensures you are working from a correct foundation.

Please check not only if the wires are connected to the right input or out put, but that the QUALITY of the connection is good.

Good Luck & let us know what happens!
