    Lenco l75 idler pulley replacement

    Hi, I have done a bit of a refurb on my lenco l75 that I recently purchased from a charity shop. Basically cosmetics and the addition of both tracking force weight and anti skate weight. I have also upgraded the mains lead and fitted new RCA cables The only obvious problem remaining is that...

    Sansui 210 - Strange flash bang!

    I installed the correct value and spec cap and have been running the amp most evenings for the last week. All is well, very pleased with such a humble little amp. The only fault to occur is the concentric balance control was causing slight fuzz on one channel. It started to act funny where...

    Wharfedale Owners Thread

    Hello Everyone, I have a pair of Wharfedale melton 2's in new condition. I bought them when on a bit of a nostalgia trip having heard this when I was a kid. They are completely original with the factory brown speaker grilles and emblems. The veneer cabinets look near pristine and the drivers...

    Sansui 210 - Strange flash bang!

    Is it possible that the unit wont switch completely off using this cap instead of a smaller capacitor?

    Sansui 210 - Strange flash bang!

    My Caps arrived today. However, the value is incorrect (i'm sure I ordered 22nf). These are 22uf and not sure whether I can use them, or not? Please can someone advise? Aside from that spec is correct.

    Sansui 210 - Strange flash bang!

    Hi smurfer, Yes I do know, but it's OK I would much rather someone mentioned it - better to be safe than sorry. I know far less about this than I know. I've ordered a 250v .02uf X2 ac interference suprression cap to replace the original.

    Sansui 210 - Strange flash bang!

    That would be my guess. I've ordered a replacement. I would still like to get the tuner section working, but its not a massive deal just nice to have everything working.

    Sansui 210 - Strange flash bang!

    Grabbed my multi with capacitance today to measure the surpessor cap and it is indeed kaput. I couldnt see it inside the insulation but there is a pin hole in the side. I was expecting to see it completely blown apart from the noise. Where do you think I should go with this amp. I will check...

    Sansui 210 - Strange flash bang!

    No St Elmos Little bit more info about the amp that is edging me towards my first refurb. (210 seems like a good intro) I noticed it would create static charge even after it had been off the mains for a considerable amount of time. I would get a faintcrackle through the speakers when plugging...

    Sansui 210 - Strange flash bang!

    Well nothing seemed out of the ordinary with my limited knowledge of amplifiers. So today I plugged the amp in with some spare speakers (el' cheapos) attatched and everything seemed ok. I then switched to my other speakers and had them on in the living room for the last 6 hours as a tv setup. I...

    Sansui 210 - Strange flash bang!

    I have visually inspected the cap across the switch. It certainly doesn't look bad but I cant measure it until I get my other meter tomorrow. Although I could have sworn from the way it went pop alone it was a electrolytic. Its just baffling how it happened when the amp was off and for it to not...

    Sansui 210 - Strange flash bang!

    Also when playing the amp just a little louder than usual (nothing crazy) I thought I could hear distortion that seemed in unison with the bass that smothered the whole song with a gritty distorion that was so slight I thought I might have even imagined it.

    Sansui 210 - Strange flash bang!

    Not yet. I wanted to have a look as I was convinced I would see something. It was like a cap exploding. I've also checked the fuses and everything there is ok. The 3 pots on the amp board look very black.

    Sansui 210 - Strange flash bang!

    Hi, I was using my sansui 210 this evening and when finished turned everything off. Within a few minutes of turning the amp off there was a huge pop/crack and a flash out of the back. I was expecting to see something like an electrolytic blown or atleast something charred but I could not smell...
