    SX-626 problem, at half volume DBT kicks in

    I've got a sx-626 that will light up the bulb on my DBT starting at half volume. Before I reach half volume, the receiver works and sounds fine. Something goes to a dead short.

    Marantz 1060, Vibrating knobs

    I completed my first 1060 restoration. I'm happy with the results, It sounds good and performs as it should. However, when I was finishing the restoration I installed the faceplate and knobs. When the amp is on, touching any of the controls, I can feel a buzzing. Not a strong buzzing, but...

    Kenwood KA-3500 turn on thump

    I'm in the process of restoring a ka-3500. I've done several of these, but this is the first time I've heard a turn on thump. The thump varies a lot, sometimes it's a second of hiss and then the low frequency thump. sometimes it's a mild thump, and sometimes nothing at all. Other than the thump...

    Yamaha CA-600, hot amp board problem

    I’ve got a Yamaha CA-600 that I’ve been restoring for a friend. I’ve gone through the amp and replaced every transistor, diode, and electrolytic cap and some slightly toasted resistors.

    Onkyo M-5140 Right channel issues

    I purchased this Onkyo M-5140 and connected up to my test system and the right channel is silent. Left channel is fine. So I get the schematic and start scoping and probing the right channel. It looks like the issue is the amp module STK4044V. No problem, because I have a spare M-5140 for parts...

    NAD 302 no output, Need help

    When I got this broken integrated amp, I opened the cover and saw 2 caps with bulging tops. Easy fix, I thought. I replaced these with 2 new caps and powered the amp up and the tops immediately bulged up and started spraying electrolyte out of the tops. I think the caps were 10v caps and there...

    Onkyo A-803 Transformer help for a newbee

    I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with a transformer problem. I've been working on this Onkyo A-803 that won't power up. It was pretty easy to discover that the Power transformer had 120v on the input and 0 volts on the output. So after doing some research, it's probably the thermal...
