    My PMA 500 AE probably needs to be replaced

    My Denon PMA 500 AE has had the input selector clicking for years but I have been patient. Now sometimes the sound quality is bad even with a different AUX cable or source. It starts breaking or as if the quality is less than 128. I had bought this from Greece (EU plug) and now have it in the...

    Nakamichi 500 Pause Stops Take-up Hub, but not Capstan?

    I am refurbishing my old Nakamichi 500. In the process of recapping boards I noticed that at some point the pause does not work. When in Play and I press Pause, the take up reel stops turning but the capstan and pinch roller continue to operate so i get a tape spill. There is a microswitch...

    I've refurbished several solid state Sansui's (AU-555a's AU-888's, QS-1, QS100, 350 to date) but I never had a tube amp to refurbish; until now. Recently, I acquired a Sansui Model 500 that is in pretty darn good shape at least visually. The only thing I can see that is broken is the AM antenna...

    Kenwood 500 Volume Pot Repair?

    Hi folks, I recently purchased a Kenwood 500 off of ebay. The previous owner noted that the volume pot was not functioning properly and that his tech had given up on trying to repair it. I am assuming that I cannot source an original version or replace it, so I was wondering if anyone thinks...

    Need help identifying a Magnavox 500 Solid State Amp/Receiver

    I found what appears to be a nice Magnavox 500 Amp/Receiver that I can't find anywhere online.

Everything appears to work on it and it has a nice...

    Thanks to all of you and this forum, ever since I got into vintage stereo I cant pass up on interesting speakers. To keep myself from buying everything I come across, I try to stick with rather rare and unusual model. Plus only if they are sold cheap (under $100). I already made a thread about...

    Kenwood 700M vs. Supreme 500/600

    I have a 700M (recapped) which I really like. I have always wondered if anyone has compared the sonic character and performance of a 700M against the Supreme 500/600's (assuming the 500 & 600 are very similar sounding to each other). I know that the 700M is just a power amp and so it's hard to...

    Need Fisher 500C help

    Just bought a 500C and an Elac Miracord 10H for $150. I'm thrilled! Turntable is in excellent condition. The Fisher has a few issues mainly the fact that I think the right channel is out. The unit is very clean, but I removed, cleaned, and reinstalled the tubes. The sound improved in the left...
