    SX1010 Crackling on Aux

    Hi Folks. I have an SX1010 that was 'refurbished' by an unnamed member of the forums who offered such services in PMs when I posted about failing transistor issues when I first purchased it a few years back. Long story short, it was a bad experience. It took them almost a year, they increased...

    Yamaha CR-1040 Maintenance

    I have a CR-1040 needing some maintenance. I thought instead of asking questions all over the forum, I would just consolidate most of them in one spot. The receiver has been in storage for more than 20 years and it was working perfectly when stored. I have powered it up and it sounds fine...

    Thoughts about DeOxit L2600Np ( DeOxit grease )

    I've been using this stuff for a few months now in power switches that I've rebuilt and in panel switches like the Marantz speaker switches. I've been very happy with the results. It's a non-conducting grease with an additional shot of DeOxit added for continual cleaning. When I disassembled a...

    NAD 7100 VOLUME CONTROL

    I picked up a NAD 7100 receiver a few years ago. Sounded great. I haven't used it since then. I tried it a few days ago, and now it has a serious issue with the volume control. The knob has no effect below about 10 o'clock — it plays LOUD and ONLY loud — I can't turn it down. The problem wasn't...

    Akai AM-2350 noise in the bass knob

    Hi guys, my beloved AM-2350 black amp is acting up since a few months. Used to make a kind of soft hiss sound after a while when I turned it on, so I took off the cover and used contactmatic (the closest thing to deoxit down here) and then it seemed to improve. But the noise was still there...
