knob

Does anyone have a source for just the brass knob caps for a Fisher 250T (or TX or 400T or 24R)? eBay has those really beautiful ones with chamfered edges for the tube receivers/amplifiers, and most of the other posts on AK refer to those style of caps. I know I could just buy an entire...

Title verbatim, when I touch the volume knob on this I get a buzzing noise through my speakers. I noticed this when I first got the unit and now that I've done some work on it and fired it up again, was reminded the issue's still there. (The A-1 in particular has a weird pot where the balance...

I’m trying to find a new, currently-produced replacement for the tone pots on a 2225 PE-01 tone board. I suspect they’re the same pots used on multiple receiver models. 2-gang 100K linear pots with 11 detent positions. After much searching, I’ve found no drop-in replacement, and no...

I recently bought a SX1250. It was shipped to me through UPS, they beat the crap out of it. Broken glass, bent and scratched face plate, 50 hz bass knob smashed and shaft broke off. A few other shafts were bent to, but I was able to straighten them. Other than everything seems to work and work...

Hi, This is my first post and I hope you are doing well, whoever reads this. Also, I'm from Québec (Canada) and my mother tongue isn't english so sorry for if I'm not using the best words or sentences to express my concerns. I have a Pioneer SX-424 since many years now and I have some...

So this happened today. Any insights or watch outs on this piece? I quickly read the CJ rehab piece here on the site. Parts of it are quite dirty, so I gave the pots some cleaning and will tackle more later. I have not hooked it up to an input or speakers yet. Nice gent who gave it to my bought...

This could already be a known configuration for zip ties and knob pulling, but still thought I'd post pics. It's worked on every stubborn knob I've used it on thus far. Two sizes of zip ties, simple to build, easy to use. Once assembled you open the mouth of the two larger ties, slide them...

I am trying to do some of the easiest work on my new old Grundig and having an issue straight out of the gate. Tuner knob came of easily after removing that screw and the damn volume/power knob spins nicely after I removed the screw, and the screw for the other ring tuner thing but it wont come...

The MA6100 has a speaker balance feature on the same bass stick (same for trebel), so as to apply the bass more or less on one speaker vs other. The design of the stick is such that there are two concentric sticks one inside the other which allows to rotate the balance or bass independent of...

First post. Anyone know where I can get replacement simple knobs for Audioplex knob? Thank you!

Hello, The tape deck followed me home from the local thrift store yesterday. I got a chance to look at it today, It needs belts. I replaced one of the belts with a rubber band to troubleshoot and got it going. I haven't played with tape decks much at all so I'm looking for advice on servicing...

After cleaning up this Sansui G-3000 I recently acquired, it powers up and works quite well. In addition to missing the Power & Speaker Switch knob (p/n 5319140 - if anyone has one please let me know..I haven't been able to find one yet online), most of the front display lamps do not light up...

Hey All, long time lurker and I've finally come across something I haven't been able to find already answered on here! Hoping you can help me out. Doing work on a CA-800 I picked up a few months ago. It plays, but is super scratchy and the power light is out. Going to clean the pots and see how...

I just started restoration of an MPI-4, will cover it in a separate thread. I came across a seemingly common problem, how to remove a stuck knob without damaging the unobtainium glass or knob? My MPI-4 had several stuck knobs. No matter how hard I tried I could not get them to pull off. I...

Hi, I"m working on restoring a The Fisher 500 mono tube receiver and there are a few bulbs in the front panel that look like fuses that are not working. Does anyone know where to find replacement bulbs? and It's also missing a knob, any leads? thanks!

While trying to clean some metalized plastic knobs in a restoration attempt of a Heathkit stereo with some isopropanol to remove dirt on them, I didn't realize the alcohol also removed the black dot indicating position of the knob... Doh! For now I just used an indelible marker and placed a dot...

Hi everybody, I've been trying to track down some knobs for a restoration, and I can't seem to find any information or suitable replacements. The knobs are black anodized aluminum, and they're 7/8" x 5/8" or 21.75mm x 16mm. They have a single setscrew and are made to fit a 1/4" shaft...

Last part needed to finish a restoration. Knob is metal with silver finish and has a black plastic skirt. Only one found is on ebay for $35! Does anyone have one to sell?

Hi guys one of the knobs in my Pioneer Ctf8080 deck is loose (it was like that when I bought it). It is the rec level knob, the input level is ok. I compared both and they look the same.. changing the knob will be the same result so the shaft could be the problem.. any ideas? Thanks!

Hi AK! I'm new here and just now getting into vinyl but man, am I ever hooked! My setup so far is a Realistic Lab-440 TT mated to a Marantz 2250B receiver with Marantz Model 7mkII speakers. The sound is fantastic for my purposes but I'm always looking for an improvement! With that said, my...

Hi guys, my beloved AM-2350 black amp is acting up since a few months. Used to make a kind of soft hiss sound after a while when I turned it on, so I took off the cover and used contactmatic (the closest thing to deoxit down here) and then it seemed to improve. But the noise was still there...

Hey all, I have this posted in the Solid State Receiver section...but after a couple of days, I have not received any responses and/or support. So I figured I'd give the Yammie sub-section a holler. In a recent purchase, I had a Yamaha RX-700u thrown in because the older woman was going to...

SU-8600 Knob on for better torque while cleaning.
