    The MAC 1900 Volume & Balance Pot Solution

    I had purchased a MAC 1900 that cosmetically was very nice, but internally was an absolute disaster. Took on this project and I hope that some of the work I did might help others. First off, I replaced some of the key transistors (orange/yellow dot, flying saucers, etc.) and changed all the...

    Balance control on stereo amplifier does not work. Adjusting the volume changes the balance.

    I recently bought a second-hand Mitsubishi DA-U530 integrated stereo amplifier with a broken balance control. Adjusting the balance to the left produces crackling sounds in the right channel but does not change the output power of either channel (as indicated on the amplifier), except for it...

    Hello! I’m having an issue with my Kenwood KR-5600 receiver. When I listen to FM radio, sound only comes out of the Left speaker. When I turn the balance knob all the way to the right, I can hear a very quiet signal in the right speaker, but the Left signal is sooo much louder than the right...

    Hey everyone, I have a Kenwood KR-4070 that I've used for about two years now with no problems but recently I noticed that the right channel is very quiet, but only while running through either the Aux or Tape inputs. The Phono input works flawlessly and has great sound through both L/R...

    C2200 Balance Control has become Input Selector!

    Hello all -- I turned on my system this morning and noticed R channel output is lower than L channel output on the meters of both preamp and amp. When I push the mono switch both channels sound and look to be on the meters at the same level. Now here is the strange part. When I tried to...

    My Scott LK-72 Restoration -LONG Journey But Not There Yet

    Back around 1995 I saw a "Free" post in HP's internal ads for a Scott LK-72. Luckily I was the first to claim it (a gold-face, neatly built unit, in mostly pristine condition). It came with original instruction book and a note saying one of the 0.1 uf was leaking and needed replacement. As...

    Marantz 1060 un-even channels, any insights?

    I have a Marantz 1060 that I bought not working and tried to rebuild about a year ago. I recapped everything except P-400 and replaced the fried outputs and the filter caps. When I got it, it was a dead short on the dbt and after replacing everything and adjusting the amps using the...

    Balancing Left & Right Channels On Turntables

    I have the ATLP120USB. Whenever I record songs to Audacity (the software packaged with my turntable) the right channel was clearly not recording as high as the left channel.

    Yamaha RX-700u Loudness Dial/Control Problem

    Hey all, In a recent purchase, I had a Yamaha RX-700u thrown in because the older woman was going to take it to Goodwill, so I gladly took it off her hands for free. I know that it could look like she was getting rid of it because it was broken, but I do not believe that to be the case. The...
