Thanks again folks for the ideas. I'll check them out & get back to you soon. It was no where close to the wood, so maybe there's hope. Attached is an older photo when I was first setting up my new stereo room some years ago, but it's from a distance. I still think you'll be able to see the...

Thank you everyone for your suggests. At 68, I think I'll just live with it. Funds are thin. I just thought if there might be a way to try & bring back the gloss a bit, it'd be worth it. I mean. it doesn't look bad. The front bottom panel is the only problem so the whole TT base would not need...

Hi Friends... Does anyone have any experience with repainting an SR-838? A few years back I made the awful mistake of trying to remove some marks on the front of mine with some "goof off" & it destroyed the gloss finished. I tried to repaint it, but I could never get the texture or look of gloss...

I'm looking for a reputable repair shop in the Ft. Wayne Indiana area. Does anyone know anyone? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, mOOndog

Thanks for the help. I know the 9090DB is ran in parallel, while the 9090 is ran in-series. I don't have a dim bulb tester, so I'm just gonna have to try & hunt down a decent repair shop in the Ft Wayne-South Bend area I guess. I don't want to take a chance messing it up worse than it might...

Hey folks... I was playing my restored 9090db tonight (at a fairly low volume) when it kicked into protection mode. I had just switched from my 8 ohm Dahlquist's to my 6 ohm Walsh Ohm speakers. I wasn't running both at the same time, but after about 10 minutes the 9090 went into the red zone...

Hey Grumpy... Thinking of you & wishing you & your family the best brother.

I've been a member here since it first started, but dropped off many moons ago. It was maybe a year or so ago though when I thought "I think I'll pop in & see how some of my ole friends are doing over at AK." First thing I did was look for posts from George... After searching a while I soon...

Thanks folks for your input. Sorry for the late reply. I've been out of town. Still no sound. I have a buddy coming over with test equipment tomorrow to try & pinpoint what might be happening. This things starting to be a major headache. Ordered new lamps for it only to find out when I went to...

Here it is before I cleaned it...

Hey Folks... Long time member. Joined in 2002, but haven't been around much since I pretty much found my "Nirvana System" after years of buying, trading & selling quite a few years ago. To all of you old timers still here, I hope you've been well & nice to be back. I'll try & make this story as...

I know that this is a relic post, but I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring. ADS 710's were the first nice speakers I ever owned. Very transparent sounding, but lacking in the bass a bit. Overall, very well balanced compared to the 810's which I bought & tried later, but sold soon after due...

I love my 4500! I bought mine for under $200 (shipped) when I sent my 9090DB in for a total restoration. A real workhouse she is!

Well upon further testing & observation, I noticed the right spindle is slightly bent when it spins. I'm wondering if that's it? I'm no reel doctor, but I'm thinking that may be the cause.

Hey Everyone - Hope you're all well. I just received an Akai GX-630D reel yesterday & I'm having problems recording anything. I get a strong signal while monitoring, but when I rewind & playback there is nothing recorded or any vu movement at all. Any ideas what might be wrong? Is it me, the...

I thought so as well, but also thought the weight may have something to do with it. Thanks.

Hi Everyone - I just received an Akai GX-630 D Reel I bought from eBay in very nice condition that I am currently testing out... Unfortunately I thought it came with the Akai NAB adapters, but no such luck, so I am using my TEAC 3340 NAB's instead. My question is, when I try & fast forward a...

Thanks everyone for your quick responses. I bought an Akai GX-630D which takes both size reels. I also have a Teac 3340, but it needs a tune-up. Any other suggestions would be very much welcomed!

Hey Everyone - I have a new Akai Reel to Reel coming soon & was wondering if anyone had a good lead on places I might still be able to buy some good quality blank tapes. It's been probably 15 years or longer since I've bought any & it looks like the pickings are getting slim! Any info would be...

Thanks everyone for your responses. I'm keeping an eye on eBay. I have 3 sets of killer vintage speakers (Dahlquist, Ohm Walsh & ADS), so I'm in no big hurry, but I would like to hear what they have to offer. Best to you all, mOOn

Hi - I just recapped my crossovers, but my tweets are shot. Can anyone help or have any info? Appreciated, Best mOOndog

Ha!!! A 10 year old thread & I'm just now getting ready to try this on my 17's. Just opened them up & my caps looks different as well from the original posting. Mine are the small black 8mfd caps like on a few pages back. I have all the parts suggested, I just hope I can figure it all out! Any...

Hey Buddy - I just read your thread about upgrading your Ohm Walsh 2's & wondering if you could tell me where you bought & how much it was? I can't seem to find it on Ohm's website??? Any help would be very much appreciated... Thanks! mOOndog

George??? You still around brother???

I have a 3340 that I want to get back up & running. The main problem is the right reel spindle is a bit lose & grinding against the metal plate it sits against & it won't go into play mode. Worked fine last time I used it. Weird? Any ideas what's wrong or anyone who services? Thanks, mOOn
