It would seem that we have lost some key vintage and substitution parts vendors due to various reasons and I was thinking it might be time for an updated list:
- kpcomponents (Canada)
- webspareparts (Portugal)
- mouser (USA)
- digiKey (USA)
- jotrin (Hong Kong and Mainland Taiwan)
- Moyer...
Hi,
Recently bought a Spec-1 that was on a tech's bench used as a switching device (as I understand). This unit appears to have been a donor unit used to keep other units in service as various parts are missing. The unit is operational and rather well. Great!!!
But I want to restore it as...
Dear all, I am currently in dire need of a one of the plastic spring loaded reel retainers for my AKAI X165D since mine broke, along with the spring and C-clip (as my spring and C clip are deformed). They should be standard on every AKAI reel to reel that does not use the loose rubber stoppers...
Good morning all,
I've had a Pioneer PL-A45D for a while now and it's in *mostly* good shape. Could use some lubing up and all, but the auto return works and the sound is good. Nice!
Problem is, it suffers from that intermittent buzzing issue that many of these units exhibit. This has been...
I’m hoping you can help me out with something. I need to find a replacement cover for the bottom of my Sansui tape deck, but I’m not sure if there’s a specific model that fits the same dimensions as the 5330. Or, is there another Sansui tape deck that has the same dimensions and I could just use...

I'm looking to find a front button for my ESS 500a amplifier, and a blue bulb for lighting the meters
I done goofed chasing down a buzzing sound in my speakers… struggled to get the wire tension relief opened and this (pcb?) board holding the solder joints for the RCA cables snapped in half… I’ve spent the past month working on this inherited turntable and my final issue was the buzzing… it...
Recently received my NEW/OLD Harman Kardon 730. I'm pretty adept at mechanical and electrical. I needed to take off the front in order to get to the push button switches which were in poor shape and were causing dropouts and noise. Lamps were out as well and function selector switch needed a...

I recently restored an AU-999 utilizing all the wonderful knowledge members here have on circuit mods and transistor substitutions. It came out outstanding.
That said, the only short coming is the high filter toggle switch is missing the button. I can't really tell, but the shaft itself might be...
OK, so I bought this older kenwood KR-9400 off a guy. Missing the top metal cover, and both wood end plates. I think I can make the wood parts, ok. I would like a top cover that is original, if that is possible. LMK
Hey All, I recently acquired a very clean (No banged up aluminum faceplate) and fully operational SX-D7000. The only thing it needs is a pot cleaning and the replacement of two missing buttons on the tuner. Can anyone recommend a source of 2 plastic rectangular buttons for the tuner section...
Hey everybody, hope you are all doing well. Is there a section of the site dedicated to parts? Caps, resistors, inductors, etc. I have some cap and other part ID questions. Been digging on the web but can't find what I am looking for. Thank you!

I have been repairing 90's Sony minisets for a while. I like them and they're very easy to take apart. All screws. Now I have one that is particularly nice, it's got tape, minidisc and CD. The CMT-CP500MD, or HCD-CP500MD. Minidisc's got MDLP and double speed copy. Anyway, all that tape and MD...
I just discovered that the drive coil cover around the spindle of my SP-15 is cracked.
https://ibb.co/DgsPZLJ
I spotted this available part (SFMGQ20-01) but neither the SP-15 nor the SP-10 are listed, so I’m not sure that it is compatible. The SP-15 service manual does not appear to specify...
Hello,
I am hoping someone might be able to assist me in identifying the Westinghouse player in the photos. It looks a lot like a Westinghouse Rainbow Toner but the face appears to be more up to date and more of a replica of older models.
Also, you will see that it is missing dials and knobs...
Hi folks,
I am a brand new member and have just acquired an SX-1280. The unit works ok but has a couple broken tone control shafts an I am hoping someone can help point me in the right direction to get them replaced. Do any of you have the Bass 50hz ACW-101(ACV-165) and the Treble 10khz...

Where do you find is a good online resource for replacement parts? I have a ‘77 JVC receiver that is missing the correct knob for the on/off switch. I have checked eBay and googled the part by part number, etc. What is my best option for getting replacements for model specific parts?
Pioneer Parts Database
This is a project that I've been working at off and on for the past few years. I started it because of concerns related to the database on the Pioneer Electronics site.
I began by scraping whatever I could get out of the Pioneer Electronics Database. I then added to...
Hi, Folks,
I recently picked up a KA-5700 along with a KT-5300. I shipped the 5700 to a tech for repair, and kept the 5300 on my bench for some cleaning. The interior of the 5300 is immaculate. It looks brand new. The outside needs some cleaning and touch-up, but nothing a little soap and...
