Turns out that channel was flaking out because the Speaker On/Off switch was physically busted. My work around was just soldering it into the On position! This thing sounds great powering a set of Klipsch Heresy speakers!!

I finally got some DeOxit in, and I cleaned every pot, switch, and port on the amp. After hooking it up I started it and it was really quiet, then the volume jumped rapidly. Kinda scared me, but nothing blew and it stayed at that volume. Then I noticed I was only getting sound out of the right...

So I got everything hooked up and started it up. I only got sound out of the right speaker. It sounded good, but then it stopped :(

I finally finished recapping my X202, and I'm itching to power it on. I have a couple questions though. First, I'm running with 2 speakers, no center. Do I need to put a resistor etween the center taps, or can I just turn the center speaker knob to OFF? Second, The speakers I have available are...

Also I found an inconsistency between the parts list and the schematic. 20uf vs. 200uf Guess who bought the wrong one.

I finally got parts in, and now I'm wondering how to get the cardboard off of the cap

Currently I'm looking at replacing all the electrolytic caps and adding a current inrush limiter. here's my parts list: original: 50uF@3V replacement: 50uF@6V 40@500 40@600 20@250 22@350 40@450 40@450 40@400 40@450 20@300 22@350 20@250 22@350 1000@35 1000@35 50@70 50@100 one...

Reading around the forum, it looks like the easiest modification I can make to help keep the tubes alive longer is putting a CL-80 current inrush limiter on the ac power supply, like Dave did in his "Gilding the X-202B" thread. When I put this in, it should go between the power switch and the...

Your right gadget. Looking at the schematic 2 of the cans are common negative and one is common positive.

How bad is too bad on a ceramic cap? Many of mine are cracked around the leads, but otherwise seem fine. I should probably get a cap tester at some point...

Am I correct in assuming the at the can caps need to be replaced? Also, how do they work, from what I can gather all the caps in the can go to a common point, which appears to be the can casing itself, and the positive ends all go to separate terminals in the middle. What's the price difference...

More dumb questions... In my parts list from the service manual I see 3 types of capacitor: Ceramic, Mylar, and Electrolytic. Do all the capacitors need replacing, or could the Ceramic caps stay?

Sorry it took so long for me to get back, I had to make it through a few final exams last week :yikes:. But now pictures. She's missing a few gems and caps and even the speaker on/off switch... but the face plate looks good! There's lots of grimyness, but there is also a random switch. It...

I recently acquired a Fisher X-202-b that had been my Grandfather's. It has not been stored in a dry area and needs a lot of work. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a restoration kit. I have seen a couple on Ebay and am not sure what I will need to get the thing fixed. Any advice would...
