First time poster so be gentle. I read the rules and even though it said not to make your first post be begging for help, I am rudely ignoring it. I did spend a few days scouring the posts for similar problems to mine first.
Here goes..... I have an SX-580 in my garage that I use for music in the garage and backyard. It has worked fine until a few days ago when the music just stopped. The lights work, the tuner works, all of the fuses (four that I saw) are still good. There is no sound on the speaker outputs or from the headphone jack. Everything looks pretty good inside the chassis that I can see.
First.....which Deoxit should I get. I am sure that should be my first or second purchase.
Second....if I really want to repair this thing is ordering a service manual (which I assume has a schematic) mandatory?
Third which components should I automatically change in order to prevent future failures after this one is fixed (i.e. Darlingtons, STKs, caps)?
Any help would be appreciated.
