    Audiosource AMP200 blowing fuses suddenly

    I've got an Audiosource AMP200 I've been using for months without issue, suddenly won't turn on. I swapped in a new fuse, and it powers up for a second and dies before the relay can click. Then no response from power button. Replacing the fuse repeats everything again. Opened it up, and the...

    ESS model 10 info

    I found a pair locally for a good price. But they don't have the famed ESS tweeters. I'm wondering if the seller doesn't have original tweeters, or if this model doesn't. Haven't been able to find any info on these with Google-fu.

    Need Help with Pioneer HPM-500 restoration

    I found this pair of Pioneer HPM-500 for $10 today. They're in good shape, but need a lot of work. From searching old ebay listings, it seems the missing tweeters are PN# 45-717A-1, but I'm only able to find PN#45-717A. The only difference I can tell from the pics is the location of the part...

    Help identifying vintage speakers

    https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/ele/d/ma-speakersawesome-sound/6650536159.html found these on my local CL, and they look interesting. Are they Monitor Audio? The tweeter setup is so unique, looking like something vintage Bose would've come up with. Are these worth the time and money to pickup?

    Technics SL-1200 mk1 too fast

    I just picked up a second Technics SL1200 mk1 tonight, because it was on offerup for too cheap. It was too fast from first turn on. I cleaned both sets of pots, and the power switch, contact cleaner from the bottom, and worked them all real good. The speeds only slowed about 3rpm. 33rpm runs at...

    DIY Turntable replacement feet, what did you use?

    I picked up a MCS 6600 recently, it's a rebranded Hitachi HT 350. It's in excellent condition other than missing a foot. I've had no luck finding a replacement, and figured I'd have to DIY something, and replace all four feet. Problem is the bottom cover of the TT bulges, so I need taller feet...

    Help getting started on Technics SL-1500 restoration

    I just picked up this TT for $50, it's in pretty rough shape, but according to the strobe looks like it at least holds speed, and the anti skate seems to work. Could use some help on where to start. The lifter doesn't work, the tonearm rest broke off. Am I right to assume the broken and missing...

    Help Identifying Cart

    This cart came with the SL1200 mk1 my wife recently acquired for me. The cantilever is obviously collapse, so it's unusuable, and I don't have a MC phono to use it anyway. I have no experience with MC, and was wondering if it's even possible to get this into functional condition again, and if...

    Troubleshooting SL-1200 MK1

    My wife got me a JDM sl1200 mk1. I've gotten it to start holding speed steady. Next problem is the tonearm won't move, and just repeats the same few seconds. I've narrowed the problem down to the anti-skate. Seems like I can play fine with anti-skate set to 1, and the tracking force increased to...

    Help troubleshooting Onkyo TA-630D

    I've got one of these I've been working on for awhile, and kind of gave up. The belts are all new, and it was terribly annoying to change them all. Like this thing was not designed to be serviced. Also the record button was stuck, and I worked it loose with WD40 and exercising it. Anyway with...

    Help identifying Pickering v15 cartridge

    I found this at a friend's garage. He has no idea where it came from. Is it missing a bracket to attach it to a headshell? Or was it for some sort of proprietary headshell? Is there anyway I can use this?

    MCS 2250 Integrated Amplifier

    I found one of these at goodwill. Looked like cheap plastic crap, but was really heavy. It didn't work when I got it home, opened it up, and replaced the fuse and it fired right up. Only markings inside was what looked like a Matsushita relay. I'm actually shocked by how great this thing...

    I have a Rotel RP-2300, that works perfectly, except for an issue with the suspended platter/tonearm. With the weight of the stock rubber mat on, the platter will bottom out just enough to graze the 45rpm lever underneath. I can use the leveling adjustment to get the platter to clear the lever...
