It's been quite a while since I've posted and now I have a new project. A fellow AK'er offered me a 2285B with the left channel not working after he followed my re-cap and binder post project. Eventually I accepted the conditions and now I'm finally digging into the first of a couple of issues. The left channel has little to no audible output. This unit has been re-capped and I find additional repairs made to wire connections, it's also seen a rough life but most everything is in-tact. I started by repairing a couple of cold looking solder joints and I thoroughly cleaned all the switches with DeOxit and the power supply board that had excess scuzz on it. I fired it up using my dim bulb tester and on separate occasions I was not able to get DC Offset & Bias adjusted then I did and now I can't. I started tracing some of the wire repairs and I ran into these connections to the Pre-Out and Main-In RCA terminals. Are these correct? I'm having trouble getting this to work in my mind since plugging anything into the Main-In will disconnect the Pre-Out. I don't know which wire posts are switched and which ones are not to get the initial connections and jumpers in the correct places.
It's good to be posting again!
