Try using batteries - It's all I operate mine on  Why ? cause they are PORTABLE

I brought it to the local electronics guy that worked on them years ago.

The machine would not power up on batteries or a power cord...

He tested it & said there is a problem in the power console area.

 

Will I have to find a replacement part to get this working ?

 

Does anyone have Clairtone 7980 parts ?

 

Thanks

You can try and deoxit the power switch. From years of sitting these collect dirt and dust and can oxidate inside switch causing little or no contact. Good luck
