With this topic, that includes bypassing the db board on a Sansui 9090db, a potential purchaser and all 9090db owners will not have to worry about having a non working receiver, since failed db board 9090db can be fixed by by passing the db board and still serve as a great working receiver...

Power supply board on Pioneer SX 1010 receivers mounted up side down on bottom deck leading to charred printed circuit boards and failed parts. I added more heat sink and a fan to draw the hot air out of the receiver and post how to do it on AK years ago. Charlie

Why not purchase an incandescent light bulb and install it? Problem over. Charlie

Well, here is a simple and cheap solution to your power switch problem. Get a switchable power strip, turn on the receiver, then switch the power switch to ON and then always use the power strip to turn on and off the receiver. Your weak receiver power switch should work fine and be saved from...

Red Jr Well, here is a simple and cheap solution to your power switch problem. Get a switchable power strip, turn on the receiver, then switch the power switch to ON and then always use the power strip to turn on and off the receiver. Your weak receiver power switch should work fine and be...

A major reason prices have escalated is the loss of dumb sellers. In the early 2000s the internet was not a big thing and the average Joe had little knowledge of what things like vintage audio gear sold for. It was somewhat common to find great gear for less than $50 and often for free at the...

kwayde Thanks for the video. It shows how to wire up the lights but not how to remove the existing ones. It may be a simple as just pulling hard on them to remove. I am seeking conformation on how to remove the old ones. Charlie

I need help in removing the power light & FM stereo light on Pioneer SX-650 receiver. Thanks Charlie

With a probable power switch, I would use a switchable power strip to turn the receiver and other equipment like turntables, CD players, tape, Ect. all ON and OFF to save your weak power switch and the equipment power switches too. If you live in an area with thunder storms and/or lightning I...

I vote for the receivers that find me at a very reasonable price and so far it is 3 Sansui and 1 Pioneer and 1 Yamaha. At my age, my hearing will not let me judge much by listening. Charlie

You have the opportunity to solve a problem. Figure out how to get to the back of that switch. Find if all the wires to the switch are attached. Then figure out if it is fixable and if so fix it. If not fixable find out if a new switch is available. If not figure out how to replace it with...

I have not seen or tested all the vintage receivers so I can not comment. Most of us are not qualified to judge which vintage receivers are engineered the best and other parameters are important like quality of parts and assembly and style. No one person could possibly know about all the...

I have been using a homemade cloth cover for my Dual 1249 changer TT for over 30 years without issue. I have the plastic cover but the Dual, with base, is on a bottom shelf, with only 9 inches of height. It was sown, by me with wife threading the sowing machine, from some heavy cotton cloth...

I have all my audio systems on switchable power strips for since the 1990s. Most systems have an about 100 watt per channel receiver, and each has a TT, five disk CD player, some a 100 or 50 disk CD player and a dual cassette player. I always have the volume of the receiver at the lowest...

Party speakers, a pair of JBL L100s and a pair of Pioneer HPM 100s, wood veneer cabinets. Enough said. Charlie

Petehall Almost any used car will sell for less than bought new, therefore no income tax is due. But have you ever bought a used car and not have to pay a sales tax, even though the a sales tax was paid on it when bought new? They are going to get us one way or the other ! Charlie

I apologize for posting a topic that has been discussed before. I did do a forum search and did not get any hits on my query. Income tax on selling old items got my attention and leads me to give or leave my better gear to my grandchildren to deal with as it may have a marked up cost value to...

The IRS is getting interested in folks selling used stuff for more than you paid for it. "The IRS has has delayed for one year, a new law requiring payment payment processors like Venmo and platforms like eBay, Etsy and Airbnb to send tax forms to users who make more than $600 in revenue."...

Adjust the balance to your liking and Rock ON. Charlie

Alexa gets Artificial Intelligence out of 200 million homes. Has that helped google stock? What we need is Real Wisdom. Charlie

I am with Qerets on using a switchable power strip. I solved a bad power switch on a receiver with a switchable power strip and also save all the power switches on the TT, CD, RTR, turner and cassette players at the same time. All gear has the power switches on and the switchable power strip...

If you can not tell if the case is wood veneer or vinyl veneer, it is a good job and just patch it and keep it. Charlie

Do not throw away your Sansui 9090db with bad Dolby board. AK link below shows how to bypass the Dolby board on a Sansui 9090db receiver. https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/9090db-dolby-board-help.917332/ If you have a 9090db bookmark or copy the above link to have peace of mind...

MIJ Thank you for the quick response and your descriptions and photos explain the modification very well. My 9090db is still working perfectly but it is s relief to know if the db board goes south there is a fix that can easily be done. I will never miss the tape 1 and 2 functions. You did a...

MIJ Would you post details as to which" cutting two traces and moving wires" are referenced on bypassing the 9090db Dolby board referenced above so that one can perform the modification? Thank you Charlie
