    Do any shops do FM tuner alignments anymore? Wisconsin Area

    I recently did a restoration on a McIntosh MR55 tuner. The 5 film and 12ish electrolytes were replaced with the dial cord. The tuner capacitor bushings and bearings were also cleaned and lubricated(not the plates). I check all the tubes on my tube tester. Next was the dim bulb test, hooked...

    An Old Heathkit Chassis finds new life.

    I purchased this chassis off barter town this past spring, I couldn't say no. It has the 50's mojo that I can't replicate with modern chassis offerings and it had the cage so I had to have it. I have been living in apartments for the past 2 years so a large amount of metal fabricating is out...

    Magnavox 8802 pull finds a new home. Could be a hallmark story.

    Greetings, So I ended up with an old 7 tube am/fm Coronado console from a friend for free. Of course it didn't work at the time but after doing a re-cap and alignment I found that one of the FM transformers was open. Bummer, I really liked the 1940's wood console look and it's smaller then the...

    Bogen Db212 output transformer replacement question

    Greetings. I have been working on a new to me Bogen DB 212 the past few nights. I didn't bother trying to turn it on I just went ahead recapping it. Some of the modifications I made were repining out the 7199 to 6GH8a and I had problems with the stereo mono switch so I removed and cleaned up...

    6973 EH tubes under high voltages

    I am rebuilding a pair of Bogen DB125's and of course they don't have the 6973 tubes in them when I received them. According to the schematic they run high voltages on them, 455 at the plate, 320 on the grid, and -25 as bias. Has anybody used the 6973 EH tubs in a demanding amp? They aren't...

    Hello I am looking to build a clone of the Heathkit WA-P2 this winter for in the main system in the house. This one will be a stereo preamp with phono and an on board power supply unlike the factory units. Last winter I built an HF-85 clone but without the phono. I liked how it sounds but...

    Bogen RP-60 Cathode Current Mismatch

    Fellow tube enthusiasts I have an interesting problem. I am repairing a Bogen RP 60 that I have had for 10ish years. The quick story is many years ago bought it off the bay for way too much. It didn’t have the 7355 tubes so I did a full recap, replaced all the selenium rectifiers, and...
