Thank you, I cleaned them both, it did not work. Of course I opened it up without a manaul to see there there were 2 parts on the top that have to go into the bottom while you are closing the two pieces and that space is SO small for my too see if I did it correctly. So now Start/Cut does not...

Hello, I have a PL-400 turntable that slows down enought to notice. It happens every 9-11 seconds, please fine between slow downs. When I watch the red lights in the front window the slow down occurs when they red dots move from right to left. I cleaned this window and used an air gun on...

So the gears are not replaceable or easy to come by as belts are? What would the value be if I assume the tape drives are dead? Maybe I can get him down a bit in cost being it’s not a belt that can fix it....

Hello all, there is a Magnavox MDHQ D8300 in my area i am interested in. Users says forward and rewind work but when Play is pressed the tape gets eaten. Claims this happens on both tape decks. I have swapped out belts before an old pioneer tape deck so I am not afraid to open it up. 1). How...

Thank you all for the help. I have never recapped a piece before so I would most likely not do it as well as someone else would like and probably hurt the resale value. All units are clean in the inside and in very ice condition on he outside, as they stand I don’t personally feel they need...

Hi all, It includes the following: TX-608 SA-708 DT-400 CT-F750 PL-400 All pieces work fine. Nothing wrong with anything I have found except the second digit on the clock, the middle line sometimes flickers, in the picture below it’s the middle line on the number three which I could not get...

Fired up the pioneer tt, bad stylus. Ordered a new one. Will need to wait to a few days to spin records. FM will have to do until then. All automated features seem to work as is. Belt seems fine but won’t be sure until we test speed and sound when stylus comes in. So far it’s 60.00 well...

I picked up a pair of klipsch speakers for Christmas for myself. Running them on a Kenwood 4140 in the bedroom with a Realistic TT. I will try the Pioneer 424 again to see if I like it but it did not last long before the Kenwood replaced it. Much milder sounding to my ears even at higher...

Yes, I knew the answer to that, waiting to new bulbs. It’s the FM issue I was hoping to hear about.

Hello all, I have a Scott 382 receiver that is having a FM reception issue. Aux plays iPad songs just fine, no issue, antenna hooked up to AM plays the one or two stations I can receive fine, normal volume, no issues. When I hook up an antenna to the FM screw on the back I get VERY little...

Another question, what could cause the FM to play very low and not come in as well as I usuallly get with other receivers in the same place in a room? There is no antenna on this unit so I attached the same wire I have used in the past for other unit. The AUX plays fine, normal sound and...

Any thoughts as to why the meter might not be working? The connections look fine, soldering looks good... Also there seems to be a pot right in the middle of the unit with a white plastic piece on the bottom of maybe holding it in place. I checked the service manual and could not find it in...

Thanks, there were a bunch of links for recapping I liked the one below. Have never soldered before, may need to try my hand at it on something else to practice. So should I listen to the speakers awhile to see if something sounds off or is it just a good rule of thumb to recap since the...

Hi All, While perusing my new favorite spot, FB Market Place, I came across a TT for sale. In the description it said "also have receiver and speakers headed for dump if no one wants them". I checked into it and ended up being home a Scott 382-B Receiver and KLH Model Twenty-Three Speakers...

Done. Hooked her up and fired her up. Sounds freaking sweet, listening to Billy Joel and Luke Bryon first. From dump to desk in a month. Now to play her a while and see if she stays or goes. I have some how accumulated 9 receives in just over a year. May need to get that number down to 4...

Tonight’s project, Sansui 7070, Bob Seger, Turn the Page, 105.3 The Shark

Thanks for the advise all! I have a Kenwood that I like to play FM with over 2 pioneers, I see no one mentioned them. Have a the fisher 201 but did not find that impressive. Maybe I should give it another try. I have a Sansui 7070 but it is still part being cleaned and waiting for fuse...

Hi all, I am looking for a receiver that will play mostly FM and a little AUX. What is a good FM reception receiver? Who would pick up further channels? 75.00 to 150.00? Also, if I hooked up a converter in the mini van (young twins don’t judge lol) would I be able to plug in a small...

Question, the fuse bulbs I pulled out say Stanley 7V 0.3A but when I look on parts express I only find 6 or 8 volt. Can anyone confirm that? I had 4 white LED fuse bulbs I used in a Pioneer but they were a tad longer that the Stanley’s I pulled out of the 7070 so they did not for in the...

So it seems I just needed to tweak the screw on the back of the motor to correct the speed. Thank you to all that helped me pointed me in the correct direction. Unit is put back together and verging very next note. Now to correct the extra noise on the turntable and clean up the digital timer...

Well I finally made some room on the table to fire this big boy up. As expected a good cleaning is doming soon. Left channel worked better than th right but both are getting a bath. Looks like Half the lights work, will order more when I see what kind they are. Gauges all seem to work so...

Hi all, got the belts swapped out and everything put back minus the cover. Popped in a tape and FF and RW seem to work at proper speeds. Play seems to run about 3 to 5 percent slower than it should. Figured a belt is too tight or not enough power from the motor. I did try four different...

Got the belts in today from vintage electronics. I am posting a picture of the old belts with what I think are their matches of new belts. The belts were all in one bag. Does not t look like I got it. What would you change. I will start putting 5 and 6 back now so I remember how to put it...

Hello, have a CT-F750 that does not work. All the lights and buttons function fine but the fw, rw, and play do not. I thought maybe the belts needed to be changed out so I opened it up. When I turned it on to see which belt(s) were slipping I noticed nothing was turning, not even a hum of...

Thank you, I have an email into vintage electronics as we speak, err a as we type.
