just want to correct you on this mark . the wires are actually test points for setting the bias .have had one in front of me for a few days now .It's an idle current adjustment. If the idle current isn't within a certain range the wire is cut, removing the short across another resistor that is part of the idle current circuit.
Its always nice when a thread turns out like this. It seems as if there are more on AK than less. You know, the ones that end without any clue if it was ever fixed. I guess I just do not get why folks ask for help then others come to help then....Nothing ..Whats up with that ?
Hey, on your pic 005 what is the cap that is on pin 2 of the W13-026 board? And does it connect to pin 3 of W18-026? What one is the positive leg?I bought a SX-1500TD and the owner said that it it powered up but no sound.
Got it home and played it for a while to check it out, with speaker wires stuck in the speaker jacks.
I got the left speaker to work but no sound from right speaker. So I did a total deoxit and gold treatment hoping that's all it needs.
Finished up and still no sound from right speaker, and no sound at all from headset.
Could you help in guiding me in the right direction to start troubleshooting the problem with the right speaker and the headset not working. Eventually I want to do and entire recap, after I get the problems fixed.
Here are some pictures.
I just saw this message. Sorry I've been out of the loop.Sorry, I thought my reply would also bring the photos. Here is the pic that was posted, I doctored it up with my notes. That cap appears to be going from pin 2 to pin 3 my stereo is missing the cap so I need to replace it
Thanks,
