[Coco] Dead Aussie CCR-82

[Bob Devries]

Yes, David, you're right.
A humming from the unti when it's just powered up would indicate a fault of 
some kind. Was there any battery leakage damage, as is usual for these 
recorders?
Wires can get pinched, and electrolytic capacitors can go dry, and spew 
their innards into the works of the recorder.
