Best Day Ever
Hey all...
I have to tell you all that I am really enjoying my first tube venture...I couldn't be more pleased with the aux and FM. Both are clear and clean with not a lick of hum.
But I still have two issues on my 800c. (s.n.# 33493D)
1) My AM is still non existent. The tech who corrected my mpx problems, didn't even bother with the AM section??? So before I send more $$$ his way, I was hoping you guys (and gals) might give me a few ideas to try. I've tried to trace the circuitry on the schematics from back to front, but get lost along the way. I don't think I'll ever get the hang of reading schematics.
2) Even though I not really into vinyl, I got excited when I got my Garrard Type A II into working order...it cycles and plays wonderfully thru the 800c.
But my phono stereo, phono mono and tape head all have the same hum.
It's volume sensitive and present with or without source, or dummy plugs for that matter. It's not the Garrard because thru my Yamaha preamp it's totally quiet.
I really think this is all that is left to get my 800c to full working order.
Any and all help is appreciated.
