Hi guys,
First of all, sorry for my weak english.
I have a Pioneer SX-450 receiver. Unfortunately there's something wrong with its power switch. When I switch the power on, the lights flicker for a few seconds, and there's some strange noise too, then everything is fine. I've read it's a common problem. The power switch contacts need some cleaning.
I've read a lot of instructions here, how to disassemble the switch and how to clean it. For example this one:
http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/in...sx-450-power-selector-switch-cleaning.173215/
So my question is related with this, and I would like to get some help from those who already disassembled the little grey (in my case black) plastic box at the back of the switch.
Am I right, that if I remove the 2 little nuts from the axes, I can pull down the plastic box from the axes then?
I'm asking this, because if this is possible, then I don't have to remove the whole front panel, etc. In this case I only have to desolder the fuse holder at the back of the switch, so I will get enough place to pull down the plastic box.
I think the pins on the rotary panel are clean, so I only have to clean the power pins in the plastic box, to get a fix contact immediately when I turn on the receiver, not just a few seconds later.
Thanks in advance.
