    I have a 65 Astrosonic 204-18-00, that I will be re-capping, I found this one linely piece soldered on the bottom of the tuner chasis. Is this a resistor, capacitor, or something else. I have a photo fact, it stops with 204-17-00, but it shows the piece. It kinda looks burned but it also looks...

    Magnavox s600 platter wobble

    Hi everyone! Got a Magnavox console with a S600 turntable. When putting a record on it skips within the track, and seems to do so at similar spots on the platter revolution if that makes sense. Did a bunch of investigating and it appears to be as though the platter to spindle fit is loose and...

    KLH 17 versus University LTV Medallion

The KLH was even recapped but I’m not sure if the University was recently serviced. The seller got them from a tech who said they didn’t need it and they do...

    Magnavox giving me the silent treatment

    I have been using a Magnavox 9303 tube amp fed by a Marantz 2230 preamp for the last 15 years. Love it. Suddenly there is no sound. I can even tap the bare input cables and there's no hum--it always hums slightly--and no touch response, nothing. At first I thought it was the fuse, but the tubes...

    Can I put C1845s in this 1968 Magnavox?

    Hey guys, I got a 1968 Magnavox I recapped. It's got flying saucers in it and are metal cans. The drivers for the transformer coupled amp are input- 83P1B824 and T83P25T to the transformers. It has a good warm tone to it and I'd like to bring down the noise floor. I wasn't sure if these were...

    Any solution for turntable speed faster than normal?

    I’ve just completed my refurbishment of my 1972 vintage record player radio combo. Playing some old John Denver I noticed his voice was a little higher pitched than what seemed normal for him. I clocked all the tracks on one side and found they are running 7.8 % faster than the label speed, and...

    Stereo Console Power Supply Issues

    Hi Everyone! I recently got a Magnavox stereo console to upgrade off of Facebook Marketplace. I checked it out in person, and the console turns on and can very poorly play AM/FM radio, which seemed like good signs of an excellent base to work off of. I took it to an audio shop to get checked...

    Rewiring turntable power harness for Magnavox Entertainment center

    I recently purchased a vintage Magnavox cabinet—all original—the radio works great, but the last owner took out the turntable and dropped a new one in (and connected it to the FM/MX channel). It's a basic one—that's literally the name of it. I started tinkering inside and found the turntable...

    Hello. I just picked up this Magnavox console for $75 at a local thrift shop and wanted to share. The system does not have the remote and for some reason has no legs. Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like it might drop into a base that has legs. The amp is an 9306. The date codes on the...
