sx-939 static / protection issues

I'm new here to the board but looks like I've come to the right place for vintage receiver help. I'm hoping someone can guide me in the right direction.

I picked up an sx-939 that looks really clean. I've used deoxit on the switched and knobs and reflowing solder joints that looked slightly cracked.

I can tune to FM station and get good sound, but it does have lots of loud static (mostly in the left channel) and the protect relay was kicking in and out and then died apparently. I can jumper pin 4 & 9 on the protect. board and get it to kick on and work but still get the static (guessing C1384 transistor is bad?), also when I remove the jumper connectors on the back for L/R I get complete silence on both channels.

From reading, I gather that the SX-1010 is almost exactly the same as my SX-939 unit? so am I safe to assume the parts list for rebuilding are the same?

sounds like I need to do a rebuild with parts for the protection board and maybe also to power supply board...what do you think? (one or both?).

here is the list I found for the ps board, but I couldn't locate a list for the protection board AWM-062...

------------------------------------
sx-1010 AWR054 power supply rebuild

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll get a under 5(? w/o shipping) buck list together to do the power supply pass transistors and a few resistors. That's how I conquered maddarts power supply problem.

I should have just stressed that from the start.

It's somewhere in the preamp, jhard wiring ON on the protection is verboten... that can start house fires.

If you haven't gotten the service manual (PM ME).
Invest in a paper reproduction for the best clarity, from Rick at stereomanuals.com

remove the jumpers, put the protect back as it should be, and see with the jumpers out, if the relay kicks back on.

Then put the jumpers in and see what happens. If the protect leaves the speakers connected, follow the block diagram on page 8 of the pdf, to see if anything on the front panel affects the problem (like bypassing the tone controls or the switchable filters)

If it stays in protection with the jumpers out, and the hard wiring of the protect circuit removed, then we have some voltages to read, IF you can follow the manual, it's the power supply voltages(pins 4(+13v),5(+35v),6(+47v),10(-13v),11(-25v) on awr-052 board), and the amplifier output voltages (pins 1 & 3 on awm-062 board)as found on the input of the protection board.
Don't worry, if you need guidance in finding or reading them, I will help...

It may be the 2sa725's in the control amp, or if the noise continues or the unit stays in protection with the jumpers out, the 2sc1451's in the power amp.

Either transistor is inexpensive, with shipping costing more than the parts, and the work involved in getting to them.

No blanket rebuilds yet.

so far....

I removed the L/R jumpers and at first I didn't have speakers hooked up and I heard a click about 6 sec. and then a second one a few seconds later.

I then attached speakers and tried again (with jumpers removed) and get nothing, no click, no sound, no static.

now with jumpers inserted I get the same thing above...nothing at all.

so I take it, it is staying in protection. now to take some meter readings...

I get these readings, and while taking them it's popping in and out randomly for a few seconds, sound in the R channel, mostly loud static and pops in the left.

4(+13.2v) 5(+35.4v) 6(+45.8v) 10(-13.1v) 11(-27.8v) on the AWR-052 board.

1(not stable reading...jumping all around) 3(0.19v) on the AWM-062 board.

Ok, the amp is sick, 0.19 is pretty poor, but the other is definitely gone...

Not a big problem, couple of transistors and caps, probably be able to leave the outputs alone.

The power supply voltages look good, and the protection is doing it's job, so the work would be purely preventative - but considering the costs of shipping versus parts, IF you're going to want to do them anyway.

but there's no rush, in fact sunday night should be considered your parts order deadline now, due to ship / shipping / weekend delays...

I'm impressed, nailed those readings just fine...

You had a list of awr-054 parts, 939 has either a awr-052 or an awr-056, your next exercise is to see if the same parts are in your 939, if not, modify the list keeping the same format and I will look it over, and add the replacements to it.

The protection is awm-062, the SAME as in the 1010. most protection is the same, 4 caps, 2 transistors and a diode added.

Some of that post addressed specific dead parts for that repair - the resistors. Transistors are all listed because they are inexpensive, as opposed to finding bad ones, and replacing them.

The amp needs work, the rest of the parts are gravy, IF you want to do them & save shipping.

these caps aren't covered above:
C11 Electrolytic 47 63v CEA 470p 63

647-UPW1J470MPD 47uf 63v $0.28 ea

use a higher voltage (like a 50 for the 47/16) for "missing" caps.

replace only electrolytic caps - mylar, ceramic etc don't dry out.

I finally got around to getting the parts and sitting down this weekend to start replacing components on the awh-30 amp board. I guess I didn't have enough coffee because while trying to get to the amp I snapped a lead wire on D6 - if I read the manual right is a varistor (STV4H) ? it runs of the edge of the board to the black metal heatsink and attached by a screw to hold it down. Is there a fix for this or do I need to order a replacement at this point?

Whatever you do, until that is fixed,

DON'T TURN ON THE POWER

It will turn the outputs into a smoking ruin.

I guess we don't repeat the warning about that part enough - it's fragile. ALways loosen the screw, separate it from the heatsink and let it float free - WITHOUT bending the leads near the body of the part. Those leads, as you see, are fragile and love to break - usually flush with the body.

You're in luck, Pioneer actually has some in stock:
http://parts.pioneerelectronics.com/part.asp?productNum=STV-4H

The other alternative would have been to send it to me, and I excavate the epoxy 1/32" and solder small flexible wires onto the nubs, then epoxy the thing to hold it all together. I developed that as a last resort,(it takes a steady hand, and a lot of practice as well as a very careful - non intuitive procedure) then Pioneer actually got some back in stock, at 12.50 apiece.

As it is, I would appreciate it if you could send it to me, and I would repair it (I developed a mold that fits it, the added wires etc and holds the epoxy in until it cures) and hold it in abeyance for a time when that is the only alternative left.

If not, PLEASE DO NOT DISCARD THE OLD STV-4H. For ALL our sakes.....

Thanks Mark...that's the least I can do (sending it to you to repair) since you've been helping me along with all of this. shoot me a PM with your address to mail it. In the meantime I'll place an order for a new one. thanks for the link!

Do I need to keep the fabric insulator sleeves on both the wires? I'm assuming that doesn't come with a replacement.

Correct, retain the fabric insulator sleeves, you WILL need them.
PM in works...
 
Encompass simply orders their parts from Pioneer, and if Pioneer shows they are out, looks like the last source for these devices is officially tits-up.

Fun while it lasted. I should have known better than to reveal the source here in the forum. Even at that price someone decided to buy out the stock. ****.
 
That date from Pioneer is someone's idea of a bad joke (or blatant ignorance). There is no source for these devices.
 
thanks so far for the help guys, I canceled my order with them and Mark should be getting my broken part here in the next day or two.

I have a couple questions with my component changing on the awh-030 amp board so far.

Mark, you said q7, q8 2sc1451 ebc might get hot with the recommended transistor. I went ahead and ordered both parts you mentioned...should I start with the first one and see what the voltage is on R35 after I get everything back together?

also, I'm a little confused on the capacitors...C1 on their now has polarity markings and the poly cap i ordered (598-DSF050J474) doesn't. Are these different? do I not have to worry which direction i place them? I've read that some capacitors don't have polarity. just wanna make certain I'm putting them in right.
 
R35 voltage could be (and mean) anything. R35 to ground, or across r35 are different things - which are usually immaterial unless something is radically wrong. Which wasn't the case with yours - it made sound, and added some pops.

What I would do, is do one channel with the smaller 2310 and the other channel with the larger 2690, and see if the channels have a difference in the noise floor, or if the 2310 gets hot, or if even the 2690 gets hot (the 2690 can accept a heat sink if there's room) enough to "ouch" touch....

I have used it, and it's cousins, in other amps at that equivalent point, without noise problems, but this is a first time for me with the 939 and this position in the circuit....

BUT REMEMBER !!!!!!!!!!! NO POWER !!!!!!!!!!!!

Not until the diode that I am going to fix is back in place.
 
Ok, picking up the thread again, the repaired STV-4H diode is in place after several different adventures, and the unit powered up on the dim bulb tester.

When I inquired about the trial idle current settings while on the dim bulb tester, it turns out they were not done, it appears that this is news to him, so I'm looking for a thread to steer him to, to explain in more detail the setting of idle current and offset on a 939, first under the dim bulb tester to be SURE that turning up the idle current doesn't trigger a disaster, then when OK, setting idle currents and offset voltages as per the manual WITH the power plugged DIRECTLY into the wall outlet.

mtf: with dim bulb tester connected:
page 17 of the pdf manual

1. no 8 ohm resistors in place of speakers needed. volume to zero
2. connect dmm to pins 10 and a chassis ground,
3. adjust vr1 for zero
4. connect dmm to pins 50 & 44, adjust VR3 to read 50mv on the dmm
(no sudden surges of light, maybe a little increase in brightness of dbt.)
mtf: turn down VR3 to minimum after you get 50mv..
now the other channel
2. connect dmm to pins 25 and a chassis ground,
3. adjust vr2 for zero
4. connect dmm to pins 38 & 32, adjust VR4 to read 50mv on the dmm
(no sudden surges of light, maybe a little increase in brightness of dbt.)
mtf: turn down VR4 to minimum after you get 50mv..

then if all is ok, disconnect d.b.t.

with dim bulb tester DIS-connected, and unit plugged directly into wall:
page 17 of the pdf manual

1. no 8 ohm resistors in place of speakers needed. volume to zero
2. connect dmm to pins 10 and a chassis ground,
3. adjust vr1 for zero
4. connect dmm to pins 50 & 44, adjust VR3 to read 50mv on the dmm

now the other channel
2. connect dmm to pins 25 and a chassis ground,
3. adjust vr2 for zero
4. connect dmm to pins 38 & 32, adjust VR4 to read 50mv on the dmm

redo this (check) 20 minutes later waiting for things to stabilize.

There is a picture on page 17 of the pdf with arrows pointing to the adjustments.

ok, I'm following this fine, and have the manual. When it says dmm on 50 and 44 this means using a jumper wire to get a reading across both pins at the same time right?
