Hello. I am attempting to restore a tarnished brass volume face plate and frame along with an internal cleaning of plexiglass plates as well. Problem. The brass frame will not allow for removal of the face plates. They fit quite tight within the channel thus not leaving enough play to slide...

Hello all I picked up a beautiful pair of these wonderful speakers and want them to be the best they can be. I had the tweeters rebuilt to as new condition, recoiled, and kept the original diaphragms in place. I had the woofers surrounds redone. Now I want to refresh the crossovers. I have done...

Hello I am considering the purchase of a set of Meridian DSP 7200 speakers along with a 808.2 CD player. As I am usually a vintage analog guy this is a little out of my comfort zone. I need to be able to run a turntable and a streamer with this system. I assume I will need a preamp to control...

Hello. Can someone please tell me if the brass frame is solid brass or plated? I am considering a C20 to go with my rebuilt MC30's and 225. On the one I am considering the frame is heavily tarnished and will need more than a buff out to bring it back. Any other cosmetic restore tips are...

Yup that little shaft that holds the spring is broken. First.. does anyone know how to get it out. The nut is just broken off so I have plenty of meat to turn it but it doesn't seem want to turn and I don't want to torque on it too much. Second. Where do I buy one of these.? Or is it...

Hi All. I just picked a 202-T with MPX 50. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for restoring this beauty. It is in all original condition. There are some dark rings around a couple of the knobs that I would like to remove without degrading the lettering. The chassis and back...

Hello all. I have just purchased a Euro Luxman sq38u.I havent received it yet. Does anyone know if they are dual voltage capable or is a step up transformer my only option. I know some, like Audio Note, can be changed internally with a simple tech performed adjustment. Thanks

I have just been told that I have an open winding in my motor. It is apparently covered in epoxy so can not be fixed. Are these motors be rebuildable, are there replacements available or is my motor now junk? I have looked for a used one but there doesn't seem to be any available or even a...

So yesterday I finished a recap on the 6000a's. They have been in the family since new, were my uncles. Before I started I had doubts. They sounded like they had a blanket on them. So how much better could they actually get? Well I found out. They are WAY better now. They sound great and I have...

Hello all I have a newly recapped Fisher x 100. It is running all Fisher brand 12 ax7's and a few different types of el84s. The Power transformer has been replaced with a Hammond. I have to say this little amp sounds very good on my Tannoy MG 12's. The Point of my post is to say that I have...

Hello. I can't seem to find a schematic for the A series that has the 330uf cap in it. I am going to recap mine to bring them back into spec and I want to see which caps are feeding what. Any advice on recapping these would be welcomed as well. And not the "I wouldn't bother" kind of advice...

Hi All. I just picked up a single mono blk of this very fine model. Hope fully some day I can find another. My intention is to restore them to perfect condition. Frame off you might say. Quick question.... Has anyone had the lettering re screened on after a chassis re-chrome? I have asked...

IF you were ever wondered if those old caps were ever really out of spec. How is this. I just tested the wax block Caps that are supposed to be 6 uf. Mine tested at 19.6 uf. I think it will make a difference with some new polys in there. I like Monacore. Resonable price and not to laid back in...

If you own a Marantz dm6 could you do me a favour ? I need the dimensions of the removable plate including the handle. Some nice detailed photos would be great to . Mine does not have one and I want to make one . Thanks for any help you can provide me.

I was just given a set of thees in worthless boxes. 3/8" material and no backs. One of them has some voice coil rub the other is just fine. They have pots for tweeter adjustment that don't do a whole lot. The pots are contained in a 4" circular can. I assume there is a small crossover inside...
