Hi there folks,
I've been reading many articles on this very helpful forum, and it usually helps or directs me enough to solve a problem. But now there is something I cannot solve, not even do I have a clue where to start looking for the answer (although I searched this forum but still didn't find what I was looking for...).
Let's start at the beginning, I love vintage audio gear, especially Denon en Yamaha. Recently I bumped into a CR-640 at a secondhand store and I couldn't resist buying it. when I took it home an plugged it in, it was obvious that none of the lights where functioning. Thanks to this forum (and a multi-meter) I was able to fix this by replacing all the lamps, but one (in the dial). So there it is, in it's full glory, a solid aluminum front with green lights everywhere
It was until this moment that I didn't realize the tuner had an issue with stereo reception. The tuner functions normally, automatically switches from DX to local (and back), but although the signal seem quit strong, it never results in a stereo reception. Although sometimes the stereo (and blend) indicator light up, but only with some very weak signals.
Just to be clear, the signal is really mono, so it is not just an issue with the indicator.
So, here's my question, does anybody have an idea what might cause the problem, and preferably, a solution to it as well ;-)
Thanks in advance for your comments.
