    choice between pioneer SA-9500 vs SA-9500ll

    I placed the LED behind the knob near the shaft, no drilling or altering chassis at all here, I was thinking pioneer was going to do this originally because of the space below the shaft, I used a diffused LED, and its hard-to-find decent diffused warm white LEDS.

    Workflow suggestions for refurbishing MC2125

    my 2125 has half the current draw as yours on the KWHM also ( actually 23W @ 120 V), I only used this meter with a variac for power up after R channel rebuild to check things before setting bias across the emitter Resistors. I think the lower current draw is because I removed all the 6 meter...

    SX-939 clouds in signal meter

    The lamps behind the meters burn and distort the scale and you will see the white plastic backside of the meter is yellow from the heat of the lamp..my garage sx-939 is like that, as is a Qx-9900, but it almost looks like cleaning chemicals used to clean switches and controls has leaked into yours..

    Pioneer PL-707 Owners

    This one does not spin around, it just seems too loose in my opinion, it has enough slop to rattle or buzz up and down or wobble, it fits on snug.. just that the free play seems like it would add noise and not take it away.. thanks

    Sx-1010 am antenna mount

    The SX-1010 is a little different than the others, the antenna bar has a steel ball that it is attached to and it sits in a "socket" so that it swivels in all directions, there is also a large spring that puts pressure on the ball, so i can't see glue holding up..even the SX-939 has a totally...
