1994 SL320 Radio

My 1994 SL320 Radio turns on, & the (broken) antennae goes up, but there is NO sound - from either AM or FM.
The radio fuse is good. The Bose fuse (behind the drivers seat) is also good.
Any ideas?

either the radio preamp stage has died or the Bose amp is dead.

I will check both. A friend of mines owns a Car Audio store. She will have the guys, that work for him, check it.
I wonder, if you know, does the Bose amp have 1 or 2 fuses?
Thanks for the help.

You might also check with Becker in New Jersey. They also have an eBay store.
