I have been trying to track down this problem, and it is driving me nuts.
First off, the problem existed when it was dropped off.
Second, someone else had been working on this, and many wires are melted and a couple were in the wrong the place.
Third, I broke one of my rules and re-capped this receiver before repairing it, as well as replaced other parts. Think LeeStereo 6060F rebuild.
Any way, the problem exists with phono and tuner. AUX is fine.
When first powered up, it plays fine. After about 10 seconds the sound starts to cut out and come back. About one second intervals.
The voltage that supplies the EQ/flat amp board remains stable, while the voltages on the board start to oscillate.
I will try to explain. 18 volts. Then 17 then 19, then 12 then 20, then 5 then 22, then -5 then 25, then my Fluke can't keep up.
Thus, the sound cutting out.
Again, supply voltage is fine. This is after dropping resistors.
If I disconnect my TT, the voltage stabilizes. Plug it back in, and the problem starts over.
If I install shorting plugs on the TT input, the problem still occurs.
All caps and transistors on the EQ/flat amp (preamp) board have been replaced.
All cap polarities match pics from another rebuild.
Any ideas?
Thanks for reading.
