    A-1020 on the hobbyist bench

    Hmm, I have not expertise here, but maybe push to limits for a little bit and then test on the curve tester again to see if it's specs changed?

    Broken solder pins on switch

    Since the pins seem to be ok with being bent once, I bent the pins so that i could solder leads onto them. Worked well. Looks like the lead is touching the case, but it's just an optical illusion.

    HK 775s, 725, 715, 705 shipping horror!

    Yes, it's a real shame. After I requested a refund the first message was that they were really sorry, and that yes it's now worthless. They didn't want to pay to have them shipped back so i should just throw them away or use them for parts. Then they asked for me to cancel the return request...

    HK 775s, 725, 715, 705 shipping horror!

    No, I think I am proteceted by Ebay. The seller has to refund me in full plus pay for return shipping. I have put a refund request in and then the seller and I negotiate. If we can't come to an agreement then ebay will step in. I think what usually happens is the seller makes an offer for me to...

    HK 775s, 725, 715, 705 shipping horror!

    OMG, I bought two 775 power amps, plus the 725 preamp, 715 tuner and 705 tape deck. Paid an ok but fair price. The seller put them all in one box, with NO packing at all! OMG, what a shame, they are just really, really damaged now. Ugh. Starting the return process, but I am just sick to my...

    A-1020 on the hobbyist bench

    Yep, got it. Was just saying that the ones done by someone else look a bit sketch.

    Those solder joints look like they are flagging from being too cool.

    Yamaha newbie A-700 resto thread

    The Hako is nice, but I'm sure plenty of the ones from China do a fine job as well. Many of the other methods work too, but the solder sucker is sure nice.

    Incoming B-6...Might be a basket case...will need Avionics help for sure !!! FIXED,sorta !!!

    Well if it makes you feel any better I just finished restoring an HK EQ (Don't judge, I'm collecting all the pieces from American Psycho). Was working excellent then I put the front bezel back on and smoke - pop. I put the little LED board in upside down and grounded the positive rail. What was...

    Broken solder pins on switch

    Ok, yeah. There is enough space between the PCB and bottom of the switch. Got it.

    Broken solder pins on switch

    My SOP is to desolder switches, disassemble and clean. Most equipment I have worked on use Alps switches, but recently came across a different brand switch. Problem is that the mfg bent some of the pins when they installed them, and the metal is very brittle and broke as I was removing the...

    Yamaha newbie A-700 resto thread

    Since y'all are talking shop... I've really liked using these little swabs with flux remover. I use a little dispenser bottle to put drops on the swab. Couldn't imagine living with thought the solder sucker. I hope you like yours too.

    A-1020 on the hobbyist bench

    Nice amp, I have an A-1000 in the queue. Nice Snowmobile too, I remember when the original came out, pushing the design back in the day.

    Yamaha C4 vs Yamaha CX 70

    The line was the C-2a, C-4 and C-6, lower number a better preamp.

    M-60 can it be saved?

    I think they are important to replace. Someday the amp might get shipped. I use bumpers that I get from work. Something like these:https://www.mcmaster.com/products/rubber/bumpers~/adhesive-back-bumpers-6/

    M-60 can it be saved?

    Wow. I am confident that it could be saved. I am sure that if you account for the value of your time it won't make economical sense, but I do a whole bunch of repairs that don't make economic sense... So, have fun and best of luck. I will be watching with much interest. I have a working M-60 if...

    M-4 What's up?

    This is an interesting video. This guy uses ulrasonic cleaning. Anyone know what his "special oil" is? Assuming D100 or similar is as good/better, buy curious.

    Yamaha M4 Incoming

    Very nice! I love this era too. I have two M-4's, and in a moment of foolishness sold my C-4 last year. I am now looking for a nice C-4 again... Or a C-2. I have a C-6, but it's really not in the same league IMO as the C-4 better yet the C-2s.
