    VU meter problem BIC T-1 deck

    Even with the power off, the right needle stays on -7 db. With a tape playing, it's too high,usually over 0 db. The needle isn't stuck: I can move it back to the far left manually, but it returns to -7 when released. Repairable?

    Yamaha CR1020 lights have stopped lighting up on the three meters

    Hi everyone. CR1020 continues to work beautifully after service and recap but the three light on the meter displays have recently stopped lighting up - I think simultaneously - although they had been working just fine. So where should I look first? Easy to say "replace the bulbs" but the fact...

    Yamaha P2200 power amp - meter and lights cut out

    Yamaha P2200 power amplifier. The right channel’s huge meter and its lights cut out occasionally. A tap or two on top of the amp fixes things. I’d like to enjoy a more permanent fix; can anybody pinpoint where to look for a poor (solder) connection? Also, I remember hearing that the black...

    Kenwood KA-5700 left VU meter not working. Any ideas?

    Snagged a nice looking KA-5700 from a garage sale for $15. Took it home and found that it sounds great, all inputs work, and all switches/lights function. The only problem is that the left VU meter shows no readings at all. Sound comes through both channels and the balance knob works great...

    Test leads for vintage meter--Sanwa U-50d

    I have a couple of older meters, and would like to get test leads for them. Both take what I'm calling "pin plugs" rather than banana plugs. That search term isn't working great, so if anyone knows a better one, I'd take the help. One is an RCA WV-97a, and that one is less of a problem because I...

    Make your own die cut meter diffusers

    I'll do anything to avoid cutting out meter diffusers by hand. This project solved that problem. You can make your own die cut meter diffusers. It just takes a steel die, and a die press. The die is ordered from China. The die press can be purchased used. Total cost about $80. Or use your bench...

    Replacing internal fuse in Technics SA-300 receiver

    Hi all. Pardon my incredible ignorance here. My understanding of electronics is as basic as it gets. The lights and FM signal strength meter do not function, and I suspect that it has to do with the internal fuse (not the speaker fuses on the back of the unit). The text next to the fuse says...

    Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've posted anything. Anyway, I recently came into a McIntosh MA6850 integrated amp. It is an absolutely wonderful piece of equipment and has virtually ensured that I will be totally deaf one day! It's got so much power!!! I've run into a slightly troubling...

    Carver TFM-45 Problem

    I was recently offered a Carver TFM-45 for under $100. The right side meter bounces all the time. I do not know what it does while its hooked up to a speaker. When you turn it up and down it changes the speed of the bouncing. I am curious if anyone might know what the problem may be and how hard...

    Sony TC-630 reel to reel VU meter bulbs

    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
