My Boston Acoustics Radio stopped working

wow I also have an old Boston acoustic clock radio same one,  the buttons are starting to not work, shame its a great little radio I understand how you feel. Mines been a great companion to wake up to for decades lol. little gray beast with surprizing bass from that little box. there is small transmission line inside if you didn't know.  

The clock radios i've been looking at to replace mine are the Tivoli models they sound really good as well and come in both mono and stereo, also they come in various models with options like streaming, CD players, radio of course etc.  The sound quality is very good for the size.

Yamaha also has a few that are quite nice sounding.

The Sangean RCR-20 FM-RDS (RBDS) AM/Bluetooth/Aux-in/USB Phone Charging Digital Tuning Clock Radio with Battery Backup looks possible.

I do not understand electronics.  I took my non-working Boston Acoustics Receptor Radio AM/FM clock radio to the local Repair Shop.  The Tech examined it and said the AM section is broken and that parts are not available.  He also said any repairs would be expensive and probably not worth it.  I appreciated his honesty and thank him very much.

I returned home and tried the radio one more time.  The AM Section worked fine and I had sound again.   I do not understand what happened but I am very happy that my radio now works.  

I guess the radio just needed a re-boot.  It was a good lesson.  Next time, I will re-boot the device and see what happens.   

Good to hear for you OP but makes one wonder just how good that tech really was?
