Hi everyone. I'm looking for a service or owner's manual for the panasonic rs-838s portable 8 track recorder, does anyone here have a copy of such a manual? Thanks.

Hey guys, i have a Panasonic AG-7350 video recorder here. The video recorder does not show a good picture when playing a Pal cassette, and the tracking is not good either. The sound works on normal as well as on HI-FI. When playing NTSC cassettes, the picture and tracking is significantly...

tl;dr: With some of the community’s favorite lines of electrolytic caps going away, what will/have become the new preferred components? Is it “Panasonic FC or bust”? I’ve been having a hard time sourcing certain electrolytic capacitors. In particular, many of the conventionally-recommended...

Found a few of these in an old 60s Panasonic receiver that I was pillaging for parts. Was wondering if anyone knew what these were called. I checked them with a meter and they were functioning transistors. Just curious why they made them like this, and if they were Germanium, as the receiver...

Hello everyone, I've recently acquired a vintage Panasonic SA-40 Solid State stereo receiver. I don't have a manual and I am somewhat perplexed about this receiver. I've hooked up the speakers and set my volume, but the only way I can get any sound is if I press down the stereo/mono switch. Is...

Hello.. Does anyone have a list (BOM?) for replacement of capacitor types ('low ESR,' or 'good for power supply' designations is what I'm really after) on the Yamaha C-4’s main board? (The ‘Function C Board NA 07149.’) Could probably buy all Nichicon FG or Panasonic FC but would be grateful...

Hello everyone. I definitely have a problem with this amplifier, when I bought it it was very neglected, it was reassembled with parts from other appliances, it had 4 diodes tied together as a power supply, etc. So I started to repair and replace everything (or almost everything) that was not...

I want to recap my Yamaha C4’s Function Board with good quality caps. Would probably just buy all Nichicon Muse (ES code) or Fine Gold (FG) and have done with it but it’s very hard to get the various cap sizes in all the specs because of distributors supply issues. As long as the cap is by a...

We have had a Panasonic SC-HT95 for quite a while as the heart of our home theater system, and we've been very pleased with it. But now it's got a sporadic problem that we'd like to track down and fix if we can. It will be powered up and operating normally, doing any one of its normal...

Hi all -- I'm looking for a replacement or workable alternative for a Matsushita AJD4920 speaker relay (see pic for details) from a Vector Research VR-2200. The right channel was not playing as loud as the left before they both went out. I am no expert but fairly sure that is the issue since I...

I was trying to remove a cartridge from a Panasonic SL H203 and when unplugging the wires i went too far on the blue one it snapped, is there a way to fix it? I'm okay with soldering, I have a multimeter and have like 30$ budget. The wires can be accessed from the bottom of the counterweight...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, just now getting into the hobby and I'm unsure about this. I got a PL-518 which I'm still waiting on some parts for, so can't really test this yet. Found the SC-AK410 in my garage.. There are RCA inputs on the back but I just want to be sure these will work...

My grandfather gave me his old quadraphonic 8 track player and I recently took it to work to power a set of Kenwood 3 way floorstanders I found in an abandoned area of the building. When I hooked everything up it worked but sounded very quiet, then all of a sudden the right channel gets really...

Hey Guys! A fellow neighbor wanted to sell me this turntable for around $30? Wanted to see if anyone know about it and if it’s worth getting into. It’s works just fine.

Hey everyone, a few days ago I picked up a new in box Technics by panasonic RS-714US. I bought the machine for $300 including a box of tapes & demagnetizer (and a jar containing a mystery, but mint, TT stylus!), from a guy I know.. who pulled it from someones attic. This thing is H-E-A-V-Y...

My neighbor gave me this cool little unit yesterday. Certainly not high fidelity, but for a tabletop stereo it’s not bad. It kicks out a modest 12 watts per channel, with tape and phono inputs. Can’t argue with the styling! There was a matching small turntable/record changer offered by...

Some time back I acquired a Panasonic RQ-2103 tape recorder from an estate sale. When I was first playing around with it, it seemed to work fine until I somehow blew it up. What's strange is that there's no burn marks or anything that I can see. It looks clean. Despite this, upon revisiting it...

Good morning, I've always had a fondness for solid audio equipment and prized myself on being a step above what most people had, but when my AT LP-60 died I decided to start to really look into what I can do to build a nice sound system that isn't centered around my home theater system. It...

Have done some searching and it appears there's never been a thread about one of these. So ... check it out! It's a portable all-in-one AM/FM radio & record player that can operate on batteries. It automatically changes from 45rpm to 33rpm depending on which kind of record is present. It has...

I posted a few weeks ago about my SP10, followed the advice about cleaning switches, but the problem persists. The table turns on but does not spin. It rocks back and forth as if it’s stuck. Seems like a problem with the electromagnet. Has anyone here had any experience with these older direct...

I'm hoping someone can identify and advise about an issue I'm having with my National Panasonic SL 1000 (SP10 turntable). The best way I can describe is that the platter gets 'stuck'. Upon hitting the start button, the platter very slightly rocks back and forth. Platter spins when given a push...

I found a Panasonic Se-2819 on eBay for 20 bucks and I tried looking for information about the model but nothing comes up. The model seems to have a preamp built in and as a beginner to vinyl on a low budget I'm interested to see if it's even a slightly ok turntable. There is also a Technics...

Hello everyone, I am currently helping my grandfather search for a vintage cassette deck. I personally have two Panasonic cassette decks that I acquired for cheap and am pleased with. I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a 1970's cassette deck, front load or top load. Brands I am...

Here's some very good Panasonic news.... Panasonic will be launching the highly anticipated ultra high end BD/CD/Hi Res audio player in the USA this October. They wanted hit a price point that would be compelling for the enthusiasts to be happy with and to attract new clients to the world of...
