lights

Hi there, I replaced all of the bulbs and they were working for a bit but now the whole left side seems to have gone out. It is a lose connection somewhere but I can't figure out where. Anyone know where I should look to find the loose connection? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hey guys, I wanted to ask a question and hopefully someone can help me. I have had a beautiful vintage Sansui 771 stereo receiver for many years now. It plays and looks great. All of the lights on the front panel were working but one of them would go out after it was powered on awhile. I decided...

Hi! I'm having some issues with my 8-track player. It plays just fine but the program switch (which just shorts to ground and is supposed to switch a coil and activates a mechanical switch to move the tape head into the next position) and lights to show which program is on stopped working all...

I received a Marantz 2275 yesterday from a seller on USA Audio Mart. It is pretty banged up, slight bend in the lower rear chassis and the balance slider is snapped off which did not show up in the pictures. The right channel is out but both power amps work so I will troubleshoot the pre/tone...

Long story short, I was finally getting around to changing the tuner pointer light, had my replacement set and tested it before soldering to see it looked the right shade. Went to get my iron out and some heatshrink tubing and when I walked back in the room all the lights were off. All of them...

With winter solstice happening this week (or really, any time during the year - in the dark of night) I like to fire up my vintage/weird lighting collection while I’m listening to music. Here’s one (of the many) funky classics I have collected over the years. Post a picture of your...

The wires from the light bulb for the left-most tuning meter have both broken (apparently at the solder point). I've been unable to find a wiring diagram. Can someone help me to figure out where to re-attach the leads?

All but one of my lights was working. I swapped the non-working bulb with one of the working bulbs to test it out, now none of the bulbs are working (except the FM STEREO light). Can someone kindly direct me toward the fuse for the lights? I was thinking it was F04 but it seems to be okay. I...

Hi Everyone, I wonder if you can help me with an issue I'm having with a 2238 that I recently purchased. All the lamps do not work (zero light whatsoever from the whole unit), and so I read a forum from a few years ago on a 2238B that had the same issue...

Hi all, Got a Yamaha ca-2010 old girl up and running from the curb yesterday! Had to replace a power cord and a fuse and it sounds terrific hit it with deoxit and all the switches are working and quiet - only problem is all the lights stay on even when switched off! what might this mean?

Hi all, I picked up a SX-939 a few weeks ago for $50. from a guy that had it in his garage for 15 + years. I cleaned it up and recapped all the boards. I put new LEDs in and all lights work except for the function lights AM, FM, Phono 1, Phono 2, Mic, and Aux. I tried following the schematic ...

Well last week I paid off the layaway on my new to me Sansui 8080. One lamp is out for a meter but that’s not my worry. The sound is grainy muffled/distorted slightly. On all inputs/ sources. Dolby board when engaged using aux turns all sounds off. Dolby fm am is fine. I don’t see any...

Last year I bought an MC2150 from AudioClassics and it's a terrific amp. This particular one is in good condition but arrived with two small weirdnesses, which I was reminded of recently when I moved the amp: 1. On the rear chassis, the white serial number area is blank. I highly doubt that...

First of all I want to thank this site for helping me out bring back my Sansui 8080 to life. I was lucky enough to get it for free from someone who did not want it. When I first got it the tuner lights, 3/4 of the power lights, and the AUX light were out. After searching this site I managed to...

Hi, Recently acquired this receiver. I can't seem to figure out why the dial scale on this 930 won't light up, despite the fact that all the bulbs are testing ok. It takes qty. of 7, 6.3v 250ma fuse-type bulbs, all testing fine. Anyone know this unit really well and/or had this problem...

Just acquired a beautiful and functioning HK930 Twin. I use it almost exclusively for playing records, but the tuner dial lights turn off when it's switched into Phono or Aux. I realize this is supposed to happen, I guess to save energy and the bulbs, etc, but aesthetically the thing looks way...

So i have a video of it on youtube i put on just for this forum discussion VIDEO: and i was comparing it between my two Crown XLi amplifiers they both was bought 1 year apart nothing is wrong with them just wondering why they both do this differently after just a few second of being turned off...

Hello All, I'm a bit of a beginner here—I had a sound issue on this (my girlfriend's) receiver, so I opened it up, did a basic DeOxit job (as per the super-helpful "The Idiot's Guide To Using DeOxit" thread) and replaced the problem fuse. The receiver sounds great now, but now there are...

So I have the Sansui 5050 and I want to replace the dial pointer light because i'm getting a restoration done very soon and need to know where can I buy the dial pointer light to replace it I like ebay, amazon, digikey, mouser, and maybe a few others but the light still works but does flicker...

I recently picked up a Marantz 2220B at a price I could live, 100.00 and I've wanted one a Marantz so I went for it. Every light on it was out so I ordered an LED light kit from Bob at www.vintage-electronics.net The install went fine and all the lights are all working but the Stereo light is...

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...

Sorry its too wide to do one good front photo.
