Listen carefully
Hello, I just picked up this old receiver. There are no lights anywhere in the front except for the red "stereo" light indicator and I cannot locate bulbs after removing the faceplate or figure out how to restore lighting, any help on getting this lit back up is appreciated.
So far I've thoroughly cleaned all the switches on the front panel which really cleaned up the audio signal quite bit and removed some static and grain in the music. It sounded very clean, crisp but also bouncy and very lively and exciting in the midrange. I also adjusted the offset voltage and got it dialed in perfectly on both channels at 7.5 mV. So far this is a great sounding receiver, All audio outputs worked when I rescued it from a thrift store last week, but now I lost audio out of the rear RCA jacks on the back but I can still hear beautiful music through the headphone jack. Going to recap this one and hope to restore its missing audio in the process. Any help or advice on this restoration is appreciated.
It really does sound amazing for its age. Its from the early 70's and is so old it uses all discrete components by necessity, no integrated circuits! How refreshing.
