Reached a troubleshooting dead-end (for me), so hoping to get some advice. Initially thought it might be a muting circuit problem (see other thread), but no dice.
Problem: Reliable 1990s era Roland GP100 unit that recently stopped producing sound from any of the outputs. Functions properly in...
Hello all...I'm new to site and also new to vintage equipment collecting and restoration.
I recently acquired a Marantz 2226B. Plugged in and turned power on. All lights came on but no sound with any of the inputs. FM tuning and signal strength meters both fluctuate when tuning dial is...
Hello - New guy here. Great site with great info, so figured I'd seek some assistance. I'm not an electronics tech/expert, but have basic knowledge/skills/tools and ability to learn.
I have a 1990s era Roland GP-100 effects unit that stopped producing sound and think it might be related to the...
Preamp section seems to working. All connections and pots cleaned with contact cleaner. Power section seems to be the problem. I used a NAD 7150 preamp section to test. Right now the right channel sounds clear with no distortion. Left channel is just completely silent, even on headphones. I hear...
So I turned on my Marantz 2245 the other day after it had been sitting for a couple of months. I played some music for a little bit out of the auxiliary input and it sounded good. The next day I tried to play a record through the phono stage and there was only sound on the right channel.
I...
My apologies in advance as I'm a novice at this yet would love to learn, so I appreciate any feedback :) I have an early-model 299D that powers up and tubes light up, but no sound is coming out of any inputs (also checked cables and speaker connections). I'd appreciate any troubleshooting...
Was playing music on MA6100 for an hour or 2, suddenly the music stopped and I could hear only a loud hissing sound from both speakers. All I could think at that moment was to run and pull the cord from power socket. Once I did that, the speaker hissing did not immediately stop. It sort of...
I was given this Harman Kardon AVR 55 but can't figure out why I am not getting any sound? I've tried all the functions, turned off surround mode, tried listening through headphone jack? All lights appear to function. Any suggestions?
Hello! I have this beautiful Optonica SA-5605, turns on, clicks out of protection (indicator turns green) but I get no sound.
Called a local tech to take it for repair, and he said that he only does "major brands".
So, I bought the elusive service manual (it is different from the...
Great people,
I have a SONY TC-366 with newly installed belts and run capacitor, functions engaging nicely, but I'm getting no sound when using headphones to monitor known good reels, also not getting any VU reaction.
When plugging source into AUX in, not getting any sound (or VU reaction)...
My 1010 has quit putting out sound…not even a buzz. It all lights up but no “click” from the protection circuit. Headphone out is also dead. Tuner meters are non responsive.
Any suggestions?
Just bought a used Velodyne DEQ 8R BG. Can not get any sound out of it. It comes on, remote seems to control volume and settings, but no sound at all.
Woofer tests at 6.2 ohms.
Fuse is fine.
Looked inside and nothing is obviously blown but I didn't test anything.
Tried speaker and line level...
Hi, nice to be on this forum.
A friend of mine asked me to take a look at her Technics amp. I am no electronics whiz but looked for burnmarks on components, bulging capacitors. Everything looks fine. The power on light is lighting but otherwise everything is silent, no hum, no hiss from the...
Hello all, just bought a Sansui 881 as-is off ebay for a good deal, so here I am with my first post. The unit turns on and relay clicks shortly after, but I am getting no sound (tried speakers A,B,C and FM,AM,Aux inputs). So I sat down with the service manual and started looking around. I see...
Good day guys i have a pioneer vsx-d307 receiver that comes on but doesn't play any sound, i do see a few obvious signs of problems like the power mosfet has scorching around them and theres a resistor (R459)that burnt completely off the board so i dnt know the value of it, i have downloaded the...
I rebuilt the power supply already and the meter don't move. It has no input or output sound. The reels turn in reverse, play and fast forward in both directions, The lights on the meters work. No fuse board! Just wired from the factory without one. So it can not be a fuse. Can someone tell me...
Hey Everyone- First Time Post. Been Lurking. So, I got a HH Scott, LK-72 last year, recapped it, almost works good. Decided I would set it back, and go through it further later. Then, I was at an estate sale and picked up a dirty Marantz 2245. Cleaned it, recapped the power board, and it...
I've had a 330c sitting around for a while and I finally decided to hook it up and give it a spin. Sounded great for a few weeks. I switched it out and then decided to put it back in. This time - no sound! From either channel! If I turn the volume up all the way, I would get a hint of sound out...
So I just bought a Marantz 2235. All lights work. All input selector lights work. No obvious damaged components. No sound to speakers. Main in pre amp rear seems to be fine. No relay click on power up. I am not a techy but I have done some research on this problem. I am getting all sorts of...
Hi, I have a little experience with electronics, not so much with receivers from this era...

Hey guys/ girls,
I have this old cabinate I'd like to get working. The problem I have is the turntable doesn't produce any sound. The radio side works fine.
The turntable seems to work properly. It spins and the arm comes out and down onto the vinyl automatically. I've changed the cartridge to...
Greetings all:
First off I am not a technical guy but a vintage stereo and classic rock lover. I bought an old Kenwood at a garage sale and I love it. I finally decided I would treat myself to a top shelf vintage receiver. Looked at several. Found a Sansui 9090(not the db) on craigslist. Drove...
Good Evening AK'ers. So I did a rather stupid thing tonight. I had my 5500 apart on the bench for a cleaning and lamp replacement. I'm a novice at this so bear with me. I changed out the fuse lamps and those were all working great. I needed to replace one selector bulb and I forgot to turn off...
I have a Sony str-de185 stereo receiver that I found used at a thrift store. It's worked fairly well for a couple of years, besides it cutting out a few times here or there. Now it's doing it much more frequently, and now it isn't coming back on by itself like is normally would. It stays powered...
