    Apparently silver CD players are as rare as hens teeth. I finally got a JVC XL-V300. It was built in October, 1984. I bought it as-is, for parts / not working. It's in pretty good condition and came with the original box. It didn't take long to find out the problem with this player. There are 3...

    JVC SEA R7 Graphic Equalizer Opinions

    I have always been a bit fascinated with this equalizer and for a few reasons. As far as I know it was manufactured from 1983 to 1987. Other popular JVC equalizers of that time were the SEA 70 and SEA 80. Many people used them with the JVC JR S line of receivers. I just find it weird how this...

    JVC receiver one channel fades out in headphones

    Hi, I have a JVC RX-884RBK unit and the problem is that when I switch it on the first time and plug in headphones, one channel might be breaking in and out. There is kind of a scratchy distortion going on during that moment. As if a connection is bad somewhere. It eventually comes back after...

    JVC AL-A158 Turntable

    I am really having a hard time finding anything on this turntable. I've had mine for a little over a year but I am about to move and since I am not attached to it would rather just sell it than have to try to move it and risk damage. It is in good shape, mine is missing the top plastic cover but...

    Just made an appointment to check out these JVC speakers I found locally for $100. Anyone recognize the model? Owner says they're from 1986.

    Feedback for a JVC JT-T77 Turntable

    Hello. Is $400 a decent to good price for 'perfect condition' and 'like new' 1972 JVC JT-T77 Hall Effect Direct Drive turntable and JL-C77 cabinet, including original box with packaging and paperwork. No tone arm included. I'm not familiar with JVC turntables. What do you all think?

    JVC QL-F320 Repeating sides with "Repeat" set to off

    Problem just started in the last week and I don't want to just start disassembling in the hopes my random air can and deox spraying will help. It's a quartz lock late 70's/early 80's JVC w/ auto-return and a start/stop. The "repeat" switch feels like it is locking into place a little less than...

    JVC JR-S201 still works...

    I gave my friend a set of the Andrew Jones Pioneer bookshelf speakers (the first edition) because I didn't like how they sounded. I have too many unused speakers so off they went. I told him that he'd need a receiver before he gave me money in return for them. I have a Pioneer SX-3700 (before I...

    Ok so like 10 years ago I trade a woman a tuna fish submarine sandwich and a pack of Kool cigarettes for a crate full of records.
