I have a Becker 3201 that won't power up. Looking to repair or replace the circuit board containing the battery. s/n 11,000 +

Not worth sending to repair shop. I have replaced it with used 3201 but would like to have spare if possible.

Thanks

Given the price you could get a newer used Becker 4201 from Europe, why invest more money in an old radio?

There are lots of fully functional AR3201s being sold in Europe for a couple of hundred dollars.
As Karl points out, the 4201 is probably a better route. There are adapters to convert 3201 wiring to 4201 wiring for 50 Euros if you don't want to rewire your panel, at this link:

Um, Jim. The ad I see:

http://www.segelflug.de/osclass/index.php?page=item&id=20394

Is someone looking for that adapter and willing to pay 50 Euro for it.

Why not buy another one? Know issue versus unknown issues. And it is easier to pull a radio, fix it, then put it back in than it is to re-connector a wire bundle in place. And, I suspect Hartley likes his 3201 and doesn't mind a little work on his bench at home. I like the one in the Jimbus...
