Thanks but the outermost contact has been clipped off. Not really NOS after looking and reading closer. Much appreciate the help though.

Is this model worth saving? Does the demise of this part mean it's beyond repair?

Bump

Greetings and salutations! Hopefully this day finds you all well. I have a challenge with a burned out switch that need some ideas. Looking for e8th a replacement or if anyone has had luck refurbing one. Attached is the culprit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This turn table is in...

Today is seemed to be jumping back and forth between the normal time and the last digit and seconds display. I'll try a little deposit over the weekend and see if that helps.

Not sure if I should start a new thread about this issue, it might just be a simple fix I'm missing, like is it plugged in? Lol Everything works great but now instead of showing hours and minutes, it shows the last digit of the minutes and the seconds. I don't see an option to set it to run...

Question related to this older thread. Does anyone have any information about the speakers that originally came with this system?

Is it worth hanging onto? That tweeter looks kinda cool but I know looks can be deceiving lol. The horn is metal if that matters.

Surely there must be someone who has some info on these...….

Hello everyone, I hope the COVID situation finds you all well. I disassembled a Packard Bell console that someone had put a Sansui 1010 into. I pulled the speakers since they all seemed work inspite of the cab being in rough shape. Can anyone tell me if they are worth keeping? Many thanks!

First off, so grateful for the help. I'll be jumping back into this over the weekend and will post my results. Yes the speakers posts connected to where you plug the speakers on the back of the unit.

:dunno:

Yes, tired and excited at the same time, it is a PL-41. Post has been edited. Good catch, thanks. :rockon:

Another piece of the Pioneer system falls into place. Just picked up a PL-41in really great shape with a Pickering V-15 Micro IV. Just tuned and set up. It is a beast! Bigger than I expected and sounds really clean. :banana: Oh happy day!

I have a small cheapo unit I got off one of the Asian market sites and I'm still tying to learn how to use it. Also I forgot to mention that if I turn the volume up the protection kicks in at about 7 and back off under that.

Ok, so I finally got back to it. I put the 798s back in. The right channel meter shows 5 bars as soon as it goes into protection. After rechecking the unit. I found additional information. The bars don't always kick up with the protection relay. It they don't light up, as soon as I change the...

Thanks a bunch. I think I'll pop them back in for now. I will be ordering some parts and will include some KSA992s as I hear they are good to replace in general. Once I get the dc issue found I also plan to replace other known problem part as I learn more about this unit. This will also help me...

Sorry, yes 8.6v. Should I put them back in and pull the 2291 transistors or go a head and order new transistors?

Right channel was about 8.6 if I remember right. Hadn't gotten smart enough to start a notebook yet. :(

1st test was using compressed air to cool them down with a volt meter attached to monitor how they responded. An old tech friend shared the idea with me. Seemed a bit odd but I'll try about anything and it seemed to work. Done with them still soldered to the board. 2nd test was with a little...

Ok so I pulled the 2SA798s and got these measurements: #1 Hfe 489 Ube 673mv Ic 2.6ma Ube 673mv Hfe 482 #2 Hfe 541 Ube 672mv Ic 2.8ma Ube 674mv Hfe 552 What tolerances are allowable? Thanks, Knotty

Thanks Tom3, I need to make up a small reflector for the single bulb as it had foam on 3 sides that have disintegrated allowing light to shine upward instead of across the face. I will run a voltage check once i get back to opening it up. Right now it sounds great and is pulling duty in my office.

Hello all fellow Pioneer fans, Here I go as a first time tech lol. I have a SA-608 that is throwing DC at the right side speaker outs. It was narrowed down to the 2SA798 on the right channel. My 1st question is should I remove the heatsinks to gain better access and if so, do I just need to...

Ok, I'm going to start a new thread as I start the repair on the SA-608. Thanks for all the input. I hope to move forward on this one so I can put it into service and look into the SA-9500. Unless that one looks to daunting. Lol Knotty
