    CR1020 Restoration Guidance

    Good afternoon all and Happy Holidays! Hard to believe 2017 is almost over (sorry for the overused cliche')! I recently acquired a CR1020 with the intent of restoration. I'm short on experience (other than over a year of research prior to engaging) but am diligent towards educating myself in...

    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...

    Receiver Lamps Stay On

    I have a Kenwood KR-9600 receiver. It woris great, but recently, when i switch the system off, the stereo shuts down but the lamps stay on. I've left it for a couple hours and the lights were still on when I returned. Any thoughts on what might cause this?

    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...

    Luxman R-1120A issues

    So awhile back I got a Luxman R-1120A receiver with 3 out of the 4 dial lamps burnt out, although it otherwise appeared to be working properly and sounded great. I finally got around to replacing the bulbs, I used 12V/70mA rather than the original 12V/100mA since the latter is hard to come by...

    Akai AA-930 anyone got one?

    I picked one of these up the other day. It had a load of wires cut on the power amp board and all the differential pair transistors were missing. So, after some swatting up with the service manual and some new transistors and trimmers, it was alive and singing. I then went on to do a re-cap and...

    LED Upgrade (Guide) - Pioneer SX-636 (w/pics)

    Just did my second one this afternoon. The regulars here probably already know how to do this, but maybe this will come in handy for new enthusiasts just getting into this hobby. Apologies if already posted. 1. Pull off all knobs from front of receiver. Remove hex nuts from function and bass...

    SX-450 Receiver power/dial lamps flickering

    Hi all, A while ago I've replaced all the 3 dial lamps, plus the power and stereo indicator ones on my SX-450 Receiver. It went good for a long time, but now everytime I switch it on, for a few seconds the power indicator kinda flickers and the whole dial is dimmed. This comes with some sort of...

    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...

    Changing lamps, Yamaha CR 2040 go boom.....:-(

    I posted this in the Yamaha forum, but got no replies at all. Is this a better forum for this topic? (Sorry, trying to learn the ropes...) Ok, so not that much drama but still my first major screw up. I found this posting from a while back from someone else that explains almost exactly what I...

    Pioneer SX-950 lamps dim when I select speakers

    Hi all, with all of the help and information on this forum, I've rebuilt the AWR-101 and AWF-011 boards in my SX-950 and it sounds great. I feel like I'm in my last-mile problems though: the selector lamps (input and speakers) dim when I select a pair of speakers. The voltages on AWR-101 pins...
