Thanks for the follow up. I hope your readjustment in Australia goes well for you and your family. I’d love to here more about the high efficiency, horn speakers you’re building and how they compare to your experience with Allisons and Magnepans. I’ve been collecting parts for some horn...

Hello, I have a Sony PS 2250 motor unit (same as the 2251 but no plinth or tonearm) that I’d like to have someone recap/restore. Is that something you’d be interested in and do you have any experience with these? I’ve read a few threads where speed issues seemed to get pretty tricky...

In response to your add, I’m looking for an SME 3009 head shell with the raised logo. Other varieties would be considered as well.

Me too. I found another prospect as well that I’m hopeful will be building a full set.

Thanks for the suggestions. I’m located in Phoenix Arizona. Can a moderator move this to the tuners forum please? (Not sure if this is how it’s done, please direct)

I’m looking for a good tech that is familiar with upgrading Sansui TU-9900 tuners. Who do you all recommend?

I knew that would work! Your the man! Thanks for taking the initiative. Now the next step will be seeing what chips they actually used. Various manufacturers make cyan chips that vary from about 490nm to 515nm. 490 being more on the blue side and 515 being more green.

Perfect! That’s exactly what I was hoping someone would do, thank you. I know that the companies that make aquarium lighting and grow lights for plants will happily use whatever color diodes you request. Cyan and aqua colored chips are quite common.

I tried him yesterday per your suggestion, thanks. Unfortunately it was a no go, but he was very responsive and had some useful suggestions. I’m still on the hunt. Edit: This was a response to what @greymatter said. I had meant to reply directly with quote but apparently didn’t.

I finally snatched up a TU-9900 tuner to go with my CA/BA 2000 combo! Now I need to match the lights. Ideally I’d really really really like to find someone that has the know how to put together a set of matching ’CYAN’ leds for these units. I’ve already tried the light blue, green, warm...

This seems like a possibility.

It’s something I ran across on Pinterest. It’s from what looks like a Japanese blog. Here’s another screen shot but I can’t read any of it.

Can anyone identify this speaker or is it DIY? It looks manufactured to me. Thanks for any help.

What would you consider them comparable to?

Thanks everyone. I had actually just figured it out too and was getting ready to post what they were but you guys beat me to it. I love the loves of these!

Can any identify these vintage speakers? At first I thought the speaker in this pic was a wharfedale but I don’t think so, then I thought maybe altec or electro voice but I can’t find pics of anything that look like these.

I’ll see if I can find it and possibly contact someone that retips/repairs cartridges.

I have a Fluke 87 Multimeter but have been told not to ever test a LOMC cartridge with a multimeter because it can cause damage. Any ideas how to test for sure?

The stylus and cantilever are in good condition and it plays great out of one channel only so I believe it’s damaged internally which to my understanding is not repairable. I’ve checked and cleaned every other connection in the system and they are all good, the only thing left is the cartridge.

What’s are fair price for a good condition Denon DL-103’D’ or S’ version? I don’t see any in Barter Town, eBay prices are running about $350 for the ‘D’ and ‘S’ versions a bit less. I have a DL-103S version that seems to have a dead channel so I’d like to replace it. It came with my Sony...

That did the trick! Thanks again, that’s a big relief. Now I’m back to having a very nice set of these speakers and don’t have to deal with a return.

Thanks bimasta I’ll give that a shot too.

Thank you Gordon I think that was it! Only it’s not a loose connection but poor conducting due too oxidation on the terminals and the solder joints. I couldn’t get a reading lower than 7.2 from the terminals but when I placed the meter pins directly to the solder joints after scratching the...

Hello, I hope everyone is doing as well as possible during the difficult times. I recently purchased a JBL 123a-3 woofer for a considerable investment. It was described as being in excellent physical and mechanical condition with no issues but I just got around to testing it today with a...
