    Realistic STA-65B Lamp Replacements

    I'm currently working on replacing the lamps used to illuminate the FM tuning section of my Realistic STA-65B. I removed the two that were previously installed and they are a little too worn down to read their voltage and amperage. It's a bi-pin lamp, and I want to guess the voltage reads either...

    Demand for Reproduction Lamp housings?

    Hey guys, I am new to this forum but not new to vintage Marantz equipment. After taking apart my mint condition 2238B I was very frustrated to learn that almost every tab was broken on both the main lamp housing and the meter housings. Because of this I have decided to design and make...

    Pioneer SX-737 Dial Pointer Lamp Troubleshooting

    Hello All! First time poster, but I am at my wits end for this part. I was taking off the glued dial scale to access my SX-737's burnt-out lamps (with help from one of the lovely guides provided to this forum, of course), and my hand slipped and broke the plastic needle off the Dial Pointer. It...

    Sansui 9090 Indicator Light Question

    Hey everyone! I'm working on a 9090, and I'm about to upgrade all the indicator lamps to LEDs, however I'm experiencing a little bit of a weird and likely stupid problem where the Aux and Phono indicator lamps aren't receiving voltage when engaged. I checked the lamps first and they're not...

    Marantz 2226b Stereo Indicator Lamp question

    I tried to find this in pre-existing threads, but I didn't see this question addressed "head on". One thread alluded to my question, I'd just like to verify it with longtime Marantz collectors. I was recently given two receivers. They're my first Marantz receivers, but I have worked on a...

    Hello everyone- I have a Yamaha CR-420 that I bought from the original owner. It is in fantastic cosmetic condition, but the internal lamp keeps flickering, which I know is no big deal and can be easily replaced. However, when it flickers, it sends audible static to the speakers- do I have a...

    Realistic APM-200 dead

    Hi, I have an APM-200 which do not do anything when plugged in, looks like the power transformer is dead. The transformer has a dual phase AC output but I am not sure about the voltage. I think, I have seen the lamps are 12v, so could it be a 12v-0-12v output. Also the power and watt switches...

    LEDs running on AC

    So I was going to post this in Marantz but I know these LED replacement lamps are used else where so why not here. I know on the Marantz gear, the lamps behind the dial is around 8 volts AC. Mine actually measures at 7 volts AC. I know LEDs are intended for DC. I think I know that the LED...

    MC2155 Left channel problem fixed. New problem is worse than than the old one.

    I found the intermittent contact on my (new to me) MC2155. It was on one of the harnesses at the front of the amp. I tightened up the contact for that pin (on the harness) and it's 100% percent functional in both channels. Now....the bad news. There was a flickering LED in the rightward most...

    Stereo indicator light flickers occasionally but does not stay on when tuned to a strong station.

    I have a Sony STR-V6. The stereo indicator light flickers (rarely) but is usually off when tuned to a strong signal. Is there a way for me to increase the sensitivity so that it illuminates with a weaker signal? Intuition tells me that there must be a way but I really have no idea at all what...

    Sony PS-X75

    I recently acquired a Sony PS-X75 from a flea market and after a few months of sitting finally got it up and running. Other than the lamp being burnt out, the table functions pretty much as it should. With that being said I have a few questions I'm hoping can be answered. 1. Is there anywhere...

    Technician recommendation in Oakland / Bay Area

    Hi AKers, I recently picked up a gorgeous Yamaha CR-820 that had only been driven to church on Sunday. The only flaw I have noticed is that the lamps are all out. I asked a stereo shop in Berkeley who estimated $150-200 to replace the bulbs. I'm new to this, but that seems high. I'm looking...

    Hi - am looking for replacement axial VU meter bulbs for a Sony TC-630. They appear to be 2 volt bulbs, and are fed from a 2 volt winding on the power transformer. I don't know the mA rating of them. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks, John
