Hi All

Scored or should I say rescued a little guy. It has a bad channel and I need a service manual. If anyone has one I'd gladly pay the printing cost, download etc...

Don't want to spend much on this. It'd make someone a nice bedroom unit. I don't need it, but don't want to put it to the curb.

Heading to Echowars this Friday, If someone could send the info it would be a great help.

Thanks
Army

We (EW & I) were thinking if it could be repaired inexpensively we would put it up for donation to AK

Ya know for a reasonable donation to AK ya get a sweet little SX-450

Just need some help with that service manual ;)

Cheers

Hey ya'all!!

No SX-450 manuals? Figure we'll buy one if we have to, but would like to keep this one cheap. Even a schematic would be adequate.

Thanks!

Funny, I too have an SX-450 with one channel out :-)
Found mine at the dump. Cosmetic condition is too good to throw it away. I have the owner's manual but not the service lit.

Good luck... it's a cute little receiver and has a good reputation to boot.

A 450 is definitely worth fixing...they're very musical and sweet.

I have the SX-450 complete service manual. I also have a schematic for the SX-780. Guess my memory is still intact! Let me know if you need me to send it to you, EW. Rather than scan it, I can just mail you the manual.

Thought this might be a good place to ask. I'm going to go check out an SX-450 for personal purchase tomorrow. The guy doesn't have speakers handy so I thought I'd bring along some small ones. I have a pair of 6 Ohm, 60watt Klipsch's from a Promedia kit. They're nice and small, so are perfect for testing.
Question is... will this receiver deal well with 6 Ohm speakers? Thanks!
