    Basic CD player

    I'm looking for a basic CD player, like a 3 or more disc changer. I never play CDs just listen to my squeezebox using flac files or play records. However, my wife is still into CDs and finds the SB and spinning records too complicated. Can anyone suggest a basic CD player that they have had...

    Anybody tried this substitute for 7868?

    I'm just curious if anyone has tried the Russian 6P41S as a sub for a 7868. A seller is saying that one needs to raise the bias voltage. Would be great if could be made as a workable sub - only $4 a pop! https://tubes-store.com/product_info.php?products_id=227

    Advise for a Squeezebox user

    I'm a long time SB user but not very computer savvy. What I have is an external hard drive with all my flac files. It's hooked up to my laptop where I run Logitec Media Server. I run a SB Classic, Duet and Touch units wireless in different rooms of the house. This has worked well for me...

    Help with SpaceXpander

    I just got a Fisher K-10 Spacexpander. I've always wanted one of these... a buddy of mine in high school back in the '60s had a reverb unit in his car. It was a lot of fun cruising the drive-ins with that thing on. When I get mine working, I'll probably listen to it a few times and then say 'why...

    800-B restoration

    I can't believe my luck. I happened upon this mint 800-B with walnut cabinet locally. It's in incredible shape with all original tubes. There's not a scratch on it. I just brought it home this afternoon. I had one of these a few years back. I totally restored it but after a year or so sold it...

    Tool to adjust trimmers?

    I bought these 10k ohm trimmers and am wondering is there a special tool to adjust them? A 3mm hex works OK but thought there's probably a better tool. Thanks, Bruce

    500-B Phono Right channel out

    I have no sound coming from my R ch in phono. L is good but there's no R. However, when I switch from Stereo to Mono the R side will kick in; L in mono is intermitten comes and goes. I've measured voltages on both 12AX7s (plates) L and R (V7 & V8) and they're pretty consistent with the...

    Denon overhang gauge ID?

    I bought this gauge with a bunch of phono parts at a garage sale. The guy couldn't remember what cartridge it was used for. Does anyone recognize it and know what Denon cartridges can be used with it? Thanks!

    Loud 'chirping' noise upon start-up

    This KX-200 that I recently restored with new e-caps including cans makes a loud 'chirp' about 15 seconds after start-up. It's loud, like a smoke alarm going off but just the one 'chirp' and then it's done. Doesn't happen again. I'm guessing it's a power cap discharging, but if so how would I...

    Help needed with Squeezebox

    I sure could use some help with my Squeezebox Duet and SBv3 (non-wireless). I moved house and got a new internet provider. I hooked up my Duet and actually had it working for a week or so, then something happened - not sure what, but just can't get it to find my LM server now; same with the SBv3...

    Fisher X-100-3 Refresh

    Hey guys, I'm a bit rusty not having done any Fisher tube work in a couple of years, but I found this very nice X-100-3 on ebay and thought I'd like to try it out. The 7189 is probably my favorite output tube. It's in pretty good shape, there's some letter loss on the back of the chasis, but the...

    Recommend me a pole saw

    Are there any good electric ones? I really don't use one enough to justify buying an expensive gas one, but I really don't know what's out there. What do you guys use and would you recommend it? Thanks, Bruce

    800b power tube failure

    Had a strange thing happen today while working on a 800b. I'd just finished replacing all the e-caps including the cans, cleaned all the sockets, etc and slowly powered it up with the variac. Got it to 117v and everything was going very well, biased the 7591s at 34ma with the IBAM - all old...

    Volume problem 500b

    Hey guys, I've got a 500b that I'm working on with a 'weak' volume problem. I've just finished rebuilding the power supply - new caps, etc. Cleaned all the controls & sockets. But the volume is pretty faint when full on. It's in both channels, balance control seems to work properly with each...
