    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...

    Kenwood KR-6400 lights out. Blown fuse?

    My very first receiver was a Kenwood KR-5400, which was stolen from my very first apartment when I was in college. Recently, I found a 6400 with a few dark lights (one VU meter and the STEREO indicator lamp). Being the optimistic novice that I am, I thought I could fix it. It appears that the...

    Hi, first of all, I'd like to mention that I'm new to audio stuff and this forum. My father bought a dbx-Bx3 power amp back in 1986 when he was living in Japan. Since it is the domestic version, it doesn't have an input selector for the mains voltage, nor a switch for the load impedance... The...
