Restoring Pioneer SX-790

Mouser works best for me when I select a category off the main menu and then narrow down the parameters one by one. Hard to explain it in text.
 
Caps are fairly easy. As I use Nichicon almost exclusively, the manufacturer # is 647.
For example in the Search box you can type in 220uf 50v 647 and you'll get all Nichicon's.

Now if you know what series you want (UPW/UHE for power supply, UKL for Signal Path Type in FOR EXAMPLE
47uf 50v UPW and you'll get all the variations of the UPW's there.
Substitute UHE or UKL and get their variations.

It's fairly simple once you get the hang of it.

There is a Parts list for the 780/790 already made up. A couple of the parts might be obsolete due to the age of the parts list, but we can do work around's. Especially if you post the list from this thread. http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/sx-780-recap-list.213265/ POST #5. IT's from 2009 but I used it on my 790 in 2011. Dod a Forum search for 780 restorations. You may find an updated list.
 
What exactly is the signal path ? For example c106 looks for me to be in the signal path but the recap list on the link you sent me suggest :647-UPW0J471MPD.
 
Signal path is what the signal from a source (for example a CD PLAYER) travels to get to the speakers. It's separate from the POWER SUPPLY and the Tuner (although the tuner is a source and provides a signal to amplify.). As C-105-106 go to ground they can be upw I think. Let me see if I can find my list of parts.

I did my 790 in early 2010. I may have my old list on my old computer. Give me a day or two to look it up and see if there is something there. I don't remember there being so many UPW's on the 780/790. This could be someone's independent list and not Mark the Fixer's.
 
Oke thats what I thought and why I found that list not in line with what you said. I will be patient and whait for your list. And some of these caps have a 20% variation. Does it matter is you have to place for example 2 .47uf caps and one is like 40uf and the other 52uf ?

It can, depending on where it's in the circuit. Stick with the stock values as much as possible. Any of the very small electrolytic caps of 4uf or less can be replaced with film caps IF there is room for a film. Panasonic ECQ type and Cornell Dublier DME's are both good for this.
 
HERE's the Latest and Greatest from Mark the Fixer. NOTE that it doesn't include caps of less than 1uf. You're on your own for these. Panasonic ECQ's (Film) or Cornell Dublier DME or DSF series(Film) work well for those. This is a CAPS LIST ONLY. Add your Diodes, Put in new Regulator transistors (I'll find the #'s for ya) and stuff.

Board # Part # Value Voltage Type Replacement Value Voltage. Note all are MOUSER #'s.

(*)MJE's are complete overkill to Handle Heat better. Need bigger Heatsinks tho as they are TO220 vs. TO-126.

ISOLATION KIT for Heatsink
532-4880MG with mica insulator, screw, washer, lock washer, insulating shoulder washer & nut. You need 3.
534-4672 to-220 mica insulators $0.12 each
get a few extra mica's, it's cheap insurance.


q26 2sc1384.......................................................512-KSC2690A

Get a couple or more of each type transistor for spares in case you need them.

You'll need a tube of Thermal Grease. DO NOT USE ARCTIC SILVER!!!

Hello Larry,

I am also restoring a sx-790. Following your advise I decided to solder new diodes. I took a good look at the photos of your sx-790 and realized that the diodes you soldered are not touching the circuit board. Is there a particular reason to solder them like that? I mean the bigger diodes in the rare row.

If you would advise to solder diodes like you soldered, please advise me a technique to do that. I spent 2 hours last night to find a way, I could not.

Thank you for all your nice, informative posts,

Emre
 
Components which could be subjected to passing relatively large currents can be stood off the circuit board to allow cooling air to flow around them more easily. A temporary spacer or clips can be used while soldering, or sleeves for the legs can be installed.
 
I clip an alligator clip around the body so the clip is against the board. Solder the legs, let cool and un clip the Alligator.

Hello Larry! Thank you very much for the explanation ! I am heading to my electric shop to buy alligator clips!
