I note that signal strength is reported low on
the duff phone, before signal lost.
 
Is the antenna replaceable?

Hello team, how are you?
I need this a lot.
 
who can make available to me I have not found.
 
Thank you in advance.

When scouring the web, I often find hard to find .pdfs and representative schematics on Russian sites. I put the page on Google Translate and go from there.

Another other way to test them is to piggyback a new one on, see if it springs to life. Another way is to use a component tester.

As others have mentioned, that usually is an oscillator-startup problem, and
the entire circuit is ONE feedback loop oscillator; every component is a suspect.
With age, high voltage parts are most susceptible to failure; the HV rectifier
and its associated switch (SCR or transistor) that drive the coil are inexpensive
to replace (except you'll have to identify them, and match to modern available
parts, and pay shipping for onesies...).

That ONLY works if they're open.
You should know that.

One of my customers dropped off this combo 5.1 amp and sub for work. I tried to discourage him but he insisted. I let it sit a week and just cracked it open a few minutes ago. I think it has a bad programmable micro AT89C2051, but when I searched on "Theater Innovations" and TI-5100 to see if parts were available, I came up with this as being one of those white van deals. Looking it over, it's honestly no worse than any other toilet one would buy at Walmart, and maybe even better than some. It has TO-3P Toshiba outputs for the sub and Thomson TO-220 for the balance of the speaker outputs. I don't know how many watts were claimed on the box, but the back of the amp says <900W, so they're not lying LOL. It does have a nice toroid transformer though..

I have a Chinese 2.1 that I bought for the equivalent of ~US$20
about 15 years ago. The claimed output is 1480W!! I traced the
circuit quite some time ago and estimated the actual power at
roughly 5W + 2.5Wx2, maybe less.
 
The sound is quite good though - for that price. Not hi-fi of
course, but it sounds better than all other models I've listened
to in the same price range. Better, in fact, than many others
costing twice or more. It has a smooth rich bass, not boomy, and
clear mids and highs.
