Too many notes!!!
Gents;
After reading 'Groenhen's' post, I am prompted to write in as well. His first post and my first post, too.
I registered a couple days ago and have been reading a lot of recap messages since. I have a C-90, with a 'TV/Tuner' button, on the left end, making it a US market C-90A, I think, if I read some online information right. It's not a '91' but an upgraded '90'.
I now have the same issues that a lot of these units have, after 20 years. A scratchy 'balance' pot, the treble pot doesn't seem as bad as it was and playback that fades in and out once in a while.
I've also seen a page were some one reworked his M-90. I might think about doing something with the M-91 also. The F-91 seems to be just fine and I don't know if doing anything with that is needed or not.
I am a total newby at working on components but I can solder, listen to advice and follow instructions.
So, to begin with, I've taken the wood panels and top cover off and pulled the front panel, only to find that the pots are covered, their are cases on them. I'm not sure how to clean them, then. You know, how many times can the tabs be bent, to remove the covers, before they break? So, with that, I don't want to just dive into this project blindly. Any comments will be gladly listened to and heard. I have put the unit back together and it is working, like it did, before.
I am another one that needs to replace caps, relays and re-solder these things.
I'll keep reading posts and keep an eye open for replies. I'll watch Groenhen's post as well. He started a thread today, too.
Thanks ahead of time for any help any one can offer.
