Know what I mean?
I've got the gear I'm actually using.
The gear in the bullpen
The gear I'm hacking/repairing
The gear waiting to be hacked/repaired (the most populous group).
Anyone have any tips and wisdom to share? Have you gone through this? Did you just buy a bunch of plastic totes?
I'd...
Haven't chimed in here for a long while. Frankly, I patrol constantly and rarely find anything of interest at GoodWill anymore.
But a few weeks ago I found four Advent Legacys, a Technics SL-Q30, a Technics dual cassette deck (forget the model, not especially interesting) all with a cheesy...
That's me right now.
In accordance with my strongly held analog/tube religious fanaticism, class D/T is absolute anathema! It's the last thing I would expect to enjoy. But it fills a certain niche very nicely! Recent circumstances have put my vinyl habit on hold for a time and I've been doing...
So I reworked the board to use LEDs. *Slightly* more modern looking, but I may try to warm them up next time I go in. I still have the function indicators to do.
Well, the schematic has them all in parallel with 24vdc on one end and *I think* ground at the other side of the switch. But yeah, I'll measure the voltage before I do anything. Why would you have me check the resistance?
I thought I might have some white LEDs lying around, but I couldn't find...
So it appears there are 9 fixed, soldered-in, radial lamps and a dial pointer lamp that run in parallel that are always on (hmm, even the dial pointer?). And there four coming off of the input selector that are running at 24 vdc, if I can trust the schematic (easy thing to check though).
The 9...
Well, so far the 432 schematic has been close enough to be helpful. There are T03 outputs -- I guess it's likely that they're the darlingtons shown in the schematic. I tidied up a little and deoxied the controls, particular the source selector which was giving me troubles. It sounds and operates...
His prices look pretty good. I'm not sure I'll wind up needing one for this Fisher, but I've not been able to find a service manual for my Pilot 254; he has a couple options.
Well, if the 432 service manual doesn't suffice, I may have to look into that. Looks like that book covers several pieces of gear.
Looks like they have a direct hit, actually. But it's not a book, it's a photocopy for $25.
Besides those differentiators, this unit has two phono inputs, like the 432 (the 332 has only one). The power button is kind of an arbitrary difference. Is it integrated with the volume pot on the 332 and 432?
Yes, on the basis of the visual similarity, I grabbed the 332 service manual from hifi engine. But the 432 looks like a *much* closer match -- virtually identical except for the placement of the power button. It would seem insane for them not to have at least used the same board. When I go in...
Hi,
I just picked up this "SEARS AUDIO BY" Fisher receiver at a thrift for $10. The model number is 143.92541600, which I understand to be *Sears'* number. Does anybody recognize this visually? I'd like to know what non-branded Fisher model this corresponds to, if any.
BTW, the quick FM test...
