I opened it, also looking for a fuse. I discovered that the fuse was soldered in. It's toward the back left. It indeed was blown. I cut it out and put in a fuse holder/fuse from Radio Shack. The radio has worked well since then. I am puzzled why they would solder the fuse in. I guess they want you to send it back for repair. -- Frank B Strauss, DMD
