Hi all,

This is my first post I hope it works.

Here's my Question.

I recently purchased a 1988 Westy, while driving down the road the radio
started to smoke and the smell of melted plastic filled the cabin.  I tried
to think about what I may have done to cause it, the only thing I can think
of is that I switched it to the AM station right before this occurred (I had
been traveling a good hour with no problems), I stopped the car because at
that point I did not know where the smoke was from, once I determined it was
from the radio, I switched it off and tried turning it back on, it did not
work in AM mode but did in FM.  Just to be on the safe side I took out the
fuse and continued the trip without the radio.  Does any one have experience
with this?  Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

UB
