Inspired by the story of the AK SX-1010, it became obvious that my neglected SX-1010 was worth the effort to restore.
It was working but the regulator board definitely needs a recap (some caps are bulging and ready to blow) and some sort of mod for the heatsink. Anyone have thoughts on where to source small (1" x 1") heatsinks and thermal tape for a heatsink mod? Also what replacement caps to use for the 470uF/80V and 2200uF/10V caps (they both use 10mm spaced leads, which no longer appear to be commonly used for caps of the same value)? One last question, anyone have a parts unit: need the mount for the ferrite anntenna and the preamp-amp coupling pins?

Show us a picture. . . . Please. . .

Been using the 'wing-fin' heatsinks, such as those found here (http://2cooltek.safeshopper.com/67/cat67.htm?127), and cutting to the size I need. I don't trust tape at these temperatures, so I'd recommend an honest thermal adhesive, or even JB Weld, which will do a very good job if it's kept to a thin layer and the heatsink is held on with pressure to assure a good bond.

As far as the caps, the Panasonic FC cap in a 2700µf 10V value, size 18mm x 15mm (#P10232-ND) is a perfect fit for the original 2200µf caps.

The bigger 80V caps are also a slam-dunk. These two caps are being operated close to their max voltage value, so a step up to a 100V cap is a good idea. The Panasonic TSHA 560µf 100V cap (size 22mm x 25mm, part number P6695-ND) has 10mm lead spacing, and will pop right in.

Gyusher: I'll do my best to get some pix. But you know the AK SX-1010 makes mine look like an ugly ducking...

Echowars: Thanks for the tips. But I made a mistake in my original post, its the 1000uF/35V that has the 10mm spaced leads, not the 2200uF/10V. What did you use for the 1000uF?

Just use one of the FC caps (1000µf 35V or 1200µf 35V) that has a spacing of 7.5mm. Close enough and fits fine. Or...you could use the TSHA 1500µf 35V cap with real 10mm spacing (I just used the FC cap in the AK SX-1010).

Kinda fun watching the process and how these old girls start comming around in time and elbowgrease. . .

BTW I have never seen the AK SX-1010. . . Is it posted somewhere???

I havnt been notified that I won yet. . . .



BOLLY; WHERE IS IT> > > >

She's probably thinking the same thing, Where's bolly?

this is her I belive "THE SX-1010"

Ain't she the dog's nut's....

larry

I can tell by the look on her face, she aint happy being away from her true home!

May I refer you to the Aerosmith tune, "Dream ON".

Quit posting the pics of my baby, she's gonna get lonely for her man!! :)

look for vintage pioneer parts. i found the caps for my sx. i cant remember the site but its there you just have to do a bit of home work

Five years later, he's likely found an answer. ;)

ok it is oak tree enterprises that supplys parts for vintage pioneer units

shit i didnt look at the date. im new here

Welcome to the moron group. :D I'm a moron too for replying to the VOT (Very Old Thread) ;)

ok it is oak tree enterprises that supplys parts for vintage pioneer unitsLike what? I get a few cosmetic parts from him every once in a while, but buying used electronic parts is pretty silly.shit i didnt look at the date. im new hereNo big deal, but if you have specific questions, start a new thread. There's a lot of Pioneer techs around here.

ok im a dumbass i guess! how do i post a new thread? i have pioneer questions. id prefer not to get any shit over that question. i get enough from my old lady. i know how to build a computer but have hell with my email. my girl seems to get a kick out of that????? wait maybe this will help, im a diesel technician! i build things that run on fossil fuel for a living and my main hobby is building old cars. the electronics thing is a second hobby and i have no teachers that know circuitry

Hang around, turbolite81, you'll have a lot of fun here! I'm sure electronics, computers, and diesels have much in common in making a guy feel like a dumbass.

What I want to know is how to draw red arrows on stuff, but that's prob'ly something for another forum on another website.

dam echowars! i guess your profession would be title professional smart ass huh. thanks for the red arrows. i figured where i was wrong i was trying to do it under a previous post. i didnt know where to start. to be truthfull the bold ass arrows didnt help either. i still had to figure it out my self @#*hole

Not to sound like an asshole, but when you decide to call out a guy with over 14,000 posts on this site. I'm thinking you aren't that smart.

But hey! You found the button, didn't you? A true triumph for AK's 'special' members. Congrats. :thmbsp:

Sorry, It's my fault. I started it all as a joke. Let's clear up.

Hey, it's my 1,000th post!!:D

i apologize, i dont mean to offend anybody.

No real need to apologise...I poked you with a sharp stick (or arrow), and you reacted.

Carry on (in a thread of your own creation, hopefully). ;)

thank's echowars. ill post one now.
