    Technics SA-202 receiver power problems

    I've had this receiver for a while-was my dads, dragged it out of the closet and it ran like a champ the past what, 2 years? All it needed was a good pot cleaning and a major dust off. Just now-coincidentally after I plugged a new 8 track deck I just got into it-it's started making a horrible...

    ROTEL ROTEL - Ground Hum From Milan to Minsk

    Forum friends. I have a little ROTEL RX-200A with the dreaded ground hum. It's 60 cycles, across both channels, and it's like a mouse in a garage - every time I think I have it cornered I'm foiled again. Here's where we're at thus far: Replaced the main amp transistors and four of it's caps...

    Technics SA-5560K dead channel

    Hi, I have a Technics SA-5560K that I got recently for a very good price. The unit powers up, but the left channel is totally dead. I have tried all variations when connecting the speakers, but no luck. The radio works fine and so does connected equipment like CD-player. I haven't opened the...

    Side Panel Screws for Pioneer SX receivers

    I recently purchased a SX-580 from shopgoodwill.com at an [almost] reasonable price. I've made other bad decisions in my life also. But this not the place for that discussion. It came with 6/32 screws holding on the side panels. Or better said NOT holding on the side panels. After...

    Kenwood KR-3400 - DOA?

    Hi folks, I'm brand new here and am thoroughly humbled by this forum's wealth of knowledge and kind spirit. I'm not by any means an audiophile, nor do I have a huge desire to dive very deep on fixing this unit. BUT, I do have a masochistic tendency to not throw anything away, and I really enjoy...

    Hi! Hoping you all can help me with an AVR issue. Yamaha A-800 for reference. When powering the unit on, I get either one channel or no channels producing sound until I raise the volume sharply and to a high level. Then both channels will act normally and adjust with the volume normally. It...

    HK 330a, 430 Twin Powered

    Hi Everyone, hoping you can help. I’ve got an HK 330a and a 430 Twin Powered receiver and both have a channel that went silent. Before that they sounded beautifully. I’ve never opened up a receiver and switched out caps before, and I’m thinking it would be better to let a pro do it. (I’ve...

    Trying to decide if repair is worth it...

    I have an older Sherwood Newcastle R-965 receiver that I've use for the past 15 years in my primary HT system. It worked flawlessly until recently when it started switching back to standby mode a couple seconds after turning it on. I'm assuming its some sort of protection circuitry kicking in...

    Mystery Pilot R 4700 "solid state receiver with tubes"

    A local junk store has a Pilot R4700 Receiver "solid state w/tubes" for sale. I'm guessing it might be a later model tube tuner with a solid state amplifier packaged together? (Serial number 400476). I was curious and did some internet digging but couldn't find anything via google or any of...

    Friend gave me this nice Kenwood receiver. Every time I turn the power on, the only 2A fuse on the circuit board blows instantly. (The other fuse is a 4A.) What is the likely culprit and is this worth trying to repair? Thank you DoubleA
