    bias confusion?

    Thanks, Craig but the value in the SM is millivolts, not volts.

    bias confusion?

    Sony AV receiver STR-AV900. Blown outputs replaced. Bias adjustment procedure calls for adjustment down to .01 mv. lowest my meter goes is 1mv. Could that be a typo? Could it be ma? IIRC my Sansui 8080 gets bias checked ma, not mv. Confused

    anyone know what is this

    As for worn-off tube numbers, I've had good success revealing them by fogging the glass with my breath. A trick i learned from an old TV man.

    CR-1040

    My stepson entrusted his inherited CR-1040 to me to give it a tune-up. First thing I did was check the bias, negative (-)225mv, give or take a few mv both channels. I adjusted it to near zero, but the reason of this post is to ask what would cause such a deep negative swing? i've seen high...

    Woodie Guthrie masters found and to be rereleased; interesting read-

    None of those verses appear in the liner notes nor in the audio on the pressing in my 1956 issue of Folkways "Bound for Glory". Either it was heavily edited / re-mixed ( doubtful) or other covering performers added their own verse as the years passed (more likely).

    Woodie Guthrie masters found and to be rereleased; interesting read-

    Sure I know this is an old thread, but i have a relevant recent experience with some Woody Guthrie '78's i picked up in a garage sale. Way back when Asch records was going under, Moses Asch sold his masters to Stinson Records. Apparently, Asch still had a bunch of pressings laying around, too. I...

    8080 (no DB) low left channel

    Bias numbers are good and DC near zero @ speaker terminals. I went through the main amp and renewed all the fuseable resistors, replaced bias pots and cleaned front control pots last summer. Been a daily driver since and no problems. This issue kinda snuck up on me when I changed my usual...

    Do you have a table you would play this on?

    I would play it on my 1916 Aeolian Vocalion Graduola model H, but it would sound like the chipmunks and afterward would be useless, but I'd do it in the interest of science:yikes:
