Radio fuse?

Probably a dumb question but how do I tell if this is blown or not? Doesn't have the window in the side. Can't tell from the top because in not sure what its supposed to look like.

Run a continuity check on it with a multimeter.

Test it with a test light, continuity meter or ohm load.

...or just replace it and see what happens.

Look down the side and you can see the tabs. Use a small screwdriver to pry the tabs so the keys will be released.

Any luck on your fuse issue? I'm fighting a radio fuse issue on mine with the CDR-220 also.

I wasn't thinking when I was asking about the fuse on the back of the radio. All I had to do is put it back and the radio lit up and everything worked except the speakers which was my original problem.
The good news is last night I did a google search of my problem and I came up with a forum question that mirrored my problem. The person with my problem was told to unhook his battery and wait 10 minutes, then hook it back up and all will be fine. Sounded kind of simplistic to me but what the heck I gave it a shot.

Radio and speakers work fine now. No problem whatsoever ��

So I guess you can believe everything you read on the internet ��
Hope you get your problem figured out.
