Joe Brown :
Might be the connector the power lead fits in. When you put the power adapter in, it shuts off power from the batteries. It may be broken inside and not switching it back to batteries.

There will be something that stops the batteries being charged by the power adapter. This may be a diode in the battery line or the power connector has a disconnect switch when the power plug is in.

Barry Allen :
it's the adapter socket isolates the batteries when the adapter is plugged in ... this isolation swich inside is the issue. .

On The road to a 60 :
First make sure you have continuity through the black wire.then check continuity through battery connector to the other end of wire at the power input.keep chasing the power through the wire & board.

Deffo a good board. Look carefully at the rivots. That secure the Battery connection. They often corrode internally. I see it all the time

You need to check the traces on the board. Get a multimeter and check them.

Andy On The Radio :
Unplug the power supply and it should run on the batteries alone. The power cable needs to be unplugged for it to run in batteries alone

I just had a look at the red wire from the battery compartment. it looks like it is connected to a point on the power jack. ll am thinking maybe there is a switch to change from power to battery.

if you look closely you can see where the orginal black wire went in the board unsolder the one from the power supply and solder to the board you can see I bit of the black wire next to red one

that's not the right connector ! it has previously been repaired with a different connector ! it should break contact to the batterys when the adapter is plugged in 🤷♂️
