It was replaced right away by them and has worked well for many years. now it gets a bit...

    Akai AM-2800 phono 2 impedance switch setting?

    On my restored Akai AM-2800, there is a slider switch on the back for setting the phono 2 impedance. choices are 100K, 47K and 33K -what is the average normal setting for something basic like a shure M95? is this cartridge only related? looks like it.

    Scrap my STR7055A?

    It Lives! thanks to some incredibly patient help from another audio enthusiast. i had to dig out my 40 year past electronics skills, it only hurt a little. thank you so much! It had two likely things in the preamp section - two caps that may have been weak, and maybe the solder pin joints on the...

    Scrap my STR7055A?

    on/off switch for pioneer SX-7730, 737 needed

    Thanks very much. I was able, while nervously sweating, to fix it I could see that the front lever was able to move a tiny bit, and the plunger on the switch behind it was seriously stuck. Thought of taking the switch apart but.... Since it was so frozen, figured nothing to lose by trying to...

    Sony PS-4300 cueing fluid..?

    Wayner, I tried 300K grease on a technics, too thin. the 500,000cs can be ordered from hobby shops- it is Radio Controlled Car differential grease. That made the tonearm on the Technics drop perfect. Very thick.

    any info on Panasonic Re-7354 receiver phono input? input ok, not MM capable.

    looks like a 60's model, tone control vs. treble/bass, works well except phono input only responds to line input. I seem to remember that means it only responds to a very early style record player, not moving magnet. Could that be? it works fine with line input into the phono but a MM TT is...
