S1: Relay (Soft Start) ASR-046: 653-LY1-0-DC24 (Achtung! Using this relay requires you to remove R102 and run a jumper wire from the + terminal of the 3300uF 35v axial cap over to the pad of R102 that connects to pin 2. Be very careful, if you put it to the wrong side of the R102, you will short the 24v supply to the 100v supply. Not good. To be extra safe, you can just remove R102 and connect the jumper wire straight to pin 2)

S2: Relay (Protection) ASR-048: 653-MY2-02-DC48

+80v and -80v regulator mod, this replaces the 2SK34 and several other parts. Refer to this post here for instructions on how to assemble it and here on how to put it in.

panasonlc fc or fm, what's this eeu? something new?

i also use / convert to 24v LY1 relay.
 
Is that a hint that you are considering sending yours Skylab? :D

Hey Mark! They are Panasonic FM caps. I'm going to be experimenting with PW and FM in the preamp sections to see if there is a difference between the two or not, I've seen all the reviews saying how good they sound and I was wondering if there were any sonic changes between PW and FM. As for the relay, I have a line on a LY1-0-DC48, I'm going to be finding out soon if I can get one from this supplier. If not, I will be converting to the 24VDC relay.
 
Darn, oh well. Thank you for looking though!

Ordered the parts today! Still waiting on the quote for the SS relay, so I just went ahead and ordered the other parts, as I don't know how long it will take to get the quote. Can't wait for them to get here!
 
I'm looking forward to your progress on your SX-1980 as mine is probably overdue for the same treatment. At the moment it is having issues with the protection relay and I want to replace that so I can keep listening to it in the meantime.

Is the 653-MY2-02-DC48 a direct drop in replacement for the ASR-048 after removing the top two tabs?

I also have a LY2-0-DC48 to replace the ASR-46 but from what I read here:

http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=378925&page=4

either the LY2 or the PCB needs modification to install.

I'm just unclear as to what tabs need to be wired above or below the PCB depending on if I bend them or cut slots in the PCB.
 
Yes, the MY2 is a drop in replacement after those tabs are removed. The LY2, as Mark said, has two choices to make it fit. Bend the two tabs that don't go through the board over, which are pin# 4 and 5 and wire them, pin 4 to pin 3 and pin 5 to pin 6, then pin 1 can be cut off. Or, cut holes in the board and do the same thing, only on the foil side of the board.

Here are some photos of it before restoration, I have not done anything to it other then clean the controls. The photos are a little big to post in the thread, so I will provide the links to them. More will be following!

I see the the walnut end caps on one side are a little banged up. Let me know if you want me to make a couple new ones for you. I have some scrap sitting around that would work. I could also make you a new case if you needed it.
 
That is from shipping damage, they also bent the top corner of very rear fin on the right side heatsink. I already have a couple of blocks from Skylab, he was kind enough to give them to me for the cost of shipping only. The case on it is mint, so I don't need one right now. The receiver appears to have been well taken care of. Thank you for the kind offers though!
 
Thank you Remington!

Quick update, I got the parts on Monday, but have not had a chance to work on it as I'm keeping my commitment to realjimjim to get his 1250 recapped and back to him by the end of next week. But after I get that done, the 1980 better look out! :D
 
Nice! Given how good the SX-1280 you just restored for me sounds, I know that your 1980 will end up being something really special!

Ahhh, that is true heavenly bliss to hear such spoken words!

I'll be waiting out on my porch for that monster!
 
The Omron MY2-02-DC48 is rated kinda low for something like a 1980. But I admit that there are not a lot of alternatives. One that is a little bit better is the Panasonic HC2-HP-DC48V-F, but both Mouser and Digikey stopped carrying them. However, if you poke around the web, they can be found.
