Greetings all. I am about to embark on the famed SX-1250 restoration, and figured to do it in an interactive way. It is my Uncle's daily driver; and since he got me into this hobby of listening to music I'd give him something back that sounds much better. I have experience building and restoring tube gear, and have repaired and soldered on PC boards as well.
The unit had a channel cutting out at times so I took out the relay and gave it a quick burnish and it fixed that problem. I then noticed that the indicator lights are out, so rather than take that board out again I figured to embark on rebuilding the entire thing. I read a bunch of the threads on this, and already bought the Mouser part list. I plan on doing a board every few days when I have free time, and then checking each step with a DBT before moving to the next one. I suppose the first question is which boards are best to start with? I intended to start with the power supply board and the one underneath with the fuses, and work my way around from there.
Any input is welcome, and I will post progress along the way.
Thanks
