Thanks for all the input!

Turns out (after spending more time on it than the 1980's
VHF is worth) that it was the loudspeaker that had failed.
Nice reception with earphones conected to the speaker wires.

So where do I get a replacement speaker?

Thanks!

Well, Radio Shack might have something.

Simplest solution would be to use an external shielded speaker (e.g.,
West Marine) that you could plug in to the radio. Does the radio have an
external speaker jack?

any good electronics shop should be able to help

Name one in LA.
Radio Shack isn't it: "Uuh, raw speakers? Not any more, sorry."
