    Yamaha CR1020 lights have stopped lighting up on the three meters

    Hi everyone. CR1020 continues to work beautifully after service and recap but the three light on the meter displays have recently stopped lighting up - I think simultaneously - although they had been working just fine. So where should I look first? Easy to say "replace the bulbs" but the fact...

    What lamps (and sockets) for Pioneer tuner TX-5500 II?

    I got myself a Pioneer tuner TX-5500 II that works fine but there is no background light on the front panel, so I opened it and found no lamps, no sockets, and wires cut! Consulting Google it seems that the lamp type is called 194 (?) But what does the socket look like? Should I put them in...

    Seeking Help from Sansui Model 800 owners -- bulb wiring questions

    Hey all! Are there any other Sansui Model 800 owners out there? I'm working on restoring one, and a previous owner really mucked up the light bulb wiring (and apparently threw away both metal shrouds that covered the bulb assembly). Could anyone open theirs up, and share some photos of the stock...

    Sansui tuner lights out

    I recently purchased a Sansui 4000. I’ll start by saying that I’ve owned a few high end modern and vintage receivers in my life and this one is by far the warmest and musical components I’ve come across to date. Hard to describe but the sound is full and thick… love it. But that’s not why I’m...

    Yamaha CR-1040 - New Bulb Fast Burnout - LED Too "Help"

    I have tried several LED and Incandescent bulb replacements on my Yamaha 2040 Meters and all burn out in a few days. The LED's resistors overheat and burn out and the incandescent simply but out.

    CT-800 Lamp Modifications

    Hi all, I recently picked up a CT-800 for a whopping $30 in what I'd call fantastic condition. The lamps are out, which didn't surprise me for a 40+ year old model, and I've ordered replacements to bring the tuner back to life at night. Upon receiving I tore the unit down and did a deep clean...

    MC502 panel lamps

    Looking for advice on my MC502 panel lighting. The amp came with #8610 lamps (rated 6.3v). Each of the five is swaged into a steel ferrule with two long-ish insulated wires coming out. The wires are soldered at the other end. Thus, the lamps are not socketed, and of course are not available...

    Sherwood S-7100A Illumination

    While I had my Sherwood S-7100A opened up for some other maintenance, I thought I'd look into why the illumination of the scale looks so dull and lifeless. Here's what I found: As you can see, there is quite a bit of carbon build up inside the fuse lamps. Not a big deal. They are...

    Wire-to-PCB connector. Which one?

    Hi all, I've been struggling with the task of "wrapping" a wire around a pin (jumper) on the PCB. You know, when you decide to replace a small bulb (lamp). It never gets firm enough, so it can become loose and bad things can happen inside the equipment. I thought about using some sort of end...
