a little update: just got my MX113 back from my local shop's service dept... they USED to be a Mac dealer, but haven't been for awhile, but their main tech has worked there since their Mac days... Anyways, they got all the pots cleaned and got the FM working again, and really made it sound a ton better. Most importantly getting rid of a slight hum. however, even after replacing the bulb, though they could not get the Stereo light to work, despite it pulling in stereo FM.
any ideas?
however, one caveat: when I first got the unit back from them, I hooked everything up, (all inputs except Phono 2 are in use) and gave it a test listen... everything sounded great, except NO FM! AM was still working as before... So, i gave them a call and asked about it....
When i first got this unit, it came with 4 of those grey input caps... since only Phono 2 was open in my setup, i put the caps into that input... then just threw the 2 extra into the SP1 and SP2, just because. the tech asked about the "shorting caps" as he called them, and told me to make sure they WEREN'T installed in the SP outputs... well, once I removed them, FM worked again! it's really only SP1 i think that does this, the other SP output doesn't seem to do it.
Is this NORMAL?
