    Pioneer SX 3800 dead channel

    I have an SX3800 that was a total mess and dead as a door nail. Got everything addressed and working but some odd behavior with the channel balance. The left channel gain was lower than the right. Then it got worse and went dead except with loudness engaged. No sound on normal from left channel...

    Pioneer SX-680 balance issue

    Greetings, So here’s an issue I have never encountered. The balance pot not functioning. When centered, the sound is crap, and seems like any sound below 1000Hz is cut off. Turn to either left or right and get great stereo sound. I had a hum also so adventured to remove the balance pot and...

    Troubleshooting Kenwood C2 and M2

    Fellow Kenwood aficionados, I have read several threads on this topic however I am relatively new to stereo troubleshooting and the volume of information is kind of overwhelming and I wasn't necessarily finding my exact scenario in these older threads. I recently acquired a C2 preamp and M2...

    Balance Potentiometer Behavior

    My apologies for what can be a stupid question, but I replaced a broken balance slider on a 3200, and did my best to follow the schematic: Now, it all seems to work - the potentiometer is of the specified value (250k). However when I slide it to the left or to the right the volume seems to go...

    Tandberg TR2040 balance pot question

    Hi, I have a TR2040 that has the balance pot shaft off. The axle (grey plastic center bit) is flat with the metal housing. I tried to glue a bit of plastic to the grey center bit but it won't stick when turned. I would like to replace it with a new one. What specs should a replacement balance...

    Kenwood KA-770D No Left Channel

    Recently picked up a KA-770D for $20 on my local Craigslist. I hooked it up and found the left channel (both A and B speaker settings) is virtually silent. (If I listen closely, I can hear it very softly). The sound out of the right channel sounds normal/good. Here's what I've ruled out so far...

    2250B broken Balance sliding potentiometer and audio issues.

    The balance slider pot on my 2250b is broken within. Any body know of a replacement? Can it be super glued? Or is the internal components can't be joined once severed like that? Found this while trouble shooting an issue with extremely low volume only on right channel and almost zero on left...

    Marantz 1530 Balance / Loudness Button issue

    Greetings, I just acquired a Marantz 1530 receiver. It works and sounds great but I've noticed that a significant amount of sound comes from the speakers even when the balance is all the way in the other direction. So for example balance all the way to the right, though diminished, plenty of...

    Balance Control Pot solution?

    Restoring vintage HiFi amps usually involves replacing the Balance Pot? Unfortunately, these centre-detent pots that provide zero resistance in the centre position are virtually unobtainable. I had an idea... how about using a many-way, make-before-break, 2-pole switch instead? A suitable array...

    Sansui AU-717 dead channel

    My lovely AU-717 has been in (climate controlled) storage for awhile. I hooked it up the other day, and seemed to work fine—but with a scratchy balance pot. But as of yesterday, the amp is only amplifying the right channel—There is NO output from the left channel. I replaced the 4 fuses, but...
