    Kenwood KR-7600 relay going nuts

    I have a KR-7600 that I have not used in a while. Yesterday I hooked it up bit didn't get any sound out of the right channel. After doing the standard troubleshooting to eliminate other problems (switched speakers etc) I noticed something strange. When the unit only has the LEFT speakers...

    Having a problem with Carver M-200t transformer thump

    I just acquired a Carver power amplifier. Was unable to test it up on purchasing. But I got a good deal on it (I think) so I took the chance. It does work (plays music) but it cuts out. With nothing plugged into except power I found that the transformer is "thumping". Other than the transformer...

    Sansui AU-6900 quiet left channel when TONE is "In"

    I recently purchased this amp and upon testing all sounded good. But then I switched the Tone to IN so I could adjust the BASS/MID/TREB. In that mode the left channel is much quieter than the right. So I sprayed a lot of deoxit in all switches and potentiometers and worked them over real good...

    Pioneer SX-850 HG "switchable" ? to 110v ?

    I recently purchased this vintage receiver and in the service manual it says that the voltage is switchable but I have removed both the top and the bottom and I do not see any place with a switch to 110 volt. On the back there is a switch cover but underneath it only reveals 240 and 220 volt...

    What do I need to fill these VOTT Cabinets

    I just acquired (for free) some very rough Altec cabinets that kind of look like the photo attached. They are empty. No horns, no drivers, no crossovers...nothing.

    Tannoy 385 efficiency ?

    I am looking at a pair of Tannoy HDP 385A (Arden) speakers. I am told that they are great speakers but I would like some speakers that can handle 15w up to 200w (a peak that will probably never be touched as my normal peak would be about 75-100 watts) Are these good for that ?

So I made this brief...

    Struggles with Marantz Receiver voltage adjustments

    I am trying to make some voltage adjustments on my Marantz 2325 but I am having the following problems. For the power supply 35v adjustment it never settles down. I can only bring it to a voltage constantly bouncing around in the 34.7 to 35.7v range. Perhaps I should just be ok with that as...

    Marantz 2325 right channel wont work regardless of P700

    I just rebuilt my Marantz 2325 P800 board and P700 boards. I noticed the Right channel does not work. Long story short...I swapped the P700 boards with each other and this made no difference. The problem remained ON THE RIGHT SIDE. So I hooked a pre amp to the 2325 Main In to isolate a...

    CEC tone arm drop adjustment question

    I have an old turntable. It works great but when I press start the tonearm drops 1 second into the song instead of on the leading edge dead wax. I have adjusted other turntables before because there is a small screw at the back of the tonearm base where you can make the adjustment but this one...

    Hi all, does anyone know what this thing is ? Does it have point a purpose or function other than a simple non grounded junction ? It is on the underside, right next to the 2 main filter capacitors. I can't find it on the connection diagram in the service manual thank you

    I recently acquired a Dual 701 as is. Typical situation ...stylus broken off...seller said "of course it works, it played perfectly 20 years ago". That doesn't bother me as most people don't know any better. It was a good price so I took it. Upon testing for function the arm doesn't move and I...

    Hi I am hoping for some assistance. I am trying to follow the manual on this adjustment but the photo contradicts the instructions. Perhaps this is a misprint as I can not find a VR3...just a VR1 and VR2. Has anyone in the forum worked on this model and able to confirm? Thank you

    Is this noise from a transistor ? See video

    I just did a full recap of a Marantz 2252. The reason for the recap is because I bought the unit many years ago (untested) and it had a LOT of problems. The recap went well and a bunch of other transistors along the way. Everything seems to be working well...except 2 things. When I turn it on it...
