ok so i have herd reports of people with sound from the head phone jack.

but no sound from the internal speaker. With the Classic 1 and 2.

As we know, With the Classic I/II, the speaker is attached to the A/B.

The plot thickens… Some of the time, People have re-capped the A/B, even though the A/B needed caps… it did not fix the issue.

Still no sound from the internal speaker.

I have yet to experience this personally.

But i know of others that have this issue right now.

So anyway, ended up getting a Classic II last weekend.

Recapped the main board… Recapped the A/B oh yea and it really needed it too!

Finally this dreaded issue had happen to me.

Lookin around, following traces…. What gives all the new caps check out good…

So just for giggles got out the multimeter set the dial to ohms.

ok checked the speaker… Zip nothing, dead open.

So i checked a known working speaker from a parts LCII… It says right on the LC speaker

REGAL

16Ω 0.25 W

TAWAN

and sure enough the meter says 14.6Ω

Close enough for me…

The bad speaker says on it:

AAP

600-0456

Quadtronics

0.2W 63Ω

PROC

Not sure why such the Ohm difference.

Anyways so the bad speaker is riveted to the A/B with some aluminum rivets.

I was able to use my side cutters and squish the rivet, and the speaker came right out.

attached the new one with about 5 dabs little dabs of goop.

So if your classic 1 / 2 has no sound from the internal speaker, check it with your meter. :)

It may be bad.
