Great. So change pin 5 on the one to pin 6 on the new. Connect pins 1 & 4 as usual and reverse the 8uf cap leads. Done.. I just hope the leads on the transformers are numbered!
I need an antenna to get started playing with the FM. Plus there's no room on the cabinet for anything besides the turntable and the TA. I'm looking for something bigger!He HID the MPX-100!!!! DAMN! (Just Kidding)
Thanks Steve,Turned out beautiful Rob, that ribbon stripe cabinet really sets it off. Maybe someday I will get to use my TA-800 again.
I have always maintained that I like the TA series the best out f all their receivers, so I will dig into mine and see what things that the other guy did. I'm pretty sure he used adapters in the 7199 sockets, so although it sounds good to my ears, their is most likely room for improvement.Thanks Steve,
You really should get her back up and running. I know you have an amazing Fisher collection but I'm convinced the TA-800 is special. I'm probably very biased because this unit is so dear to me and the connection I have with it. I am the rare member here that really only has one quality receiver at home. But at least it's a good one! I feel, however that it will have company in the future!
Getting to visit with him was surely the icing on the cake, the world needs more genuine people like him in it.
I'm finishing up my restoration on my 500-C, once that's done I will pull out the TA-800 and get some pictures.Agreed.
If you think about it. Post some internal pictures of your 800. Don't get to see many around here!
