    Pioneer QX-9900 Protection board

    So, this is the third QX-9900 I'm working on. I'm still to see a protection board as called out in the SM: None of the units I worked on have this board. This time I took the proper time to reverse engineer and document the board that is actually in the receiver: And now I am sharing with...

After power is on, the dial light go on, signal and tuning needle move, but the protection relay won’t pull in. After some time and several...

    Sabotage of KA-7100?

    With the help of a friend, I am beginning a project to revive my KA-7100 diagnosed with a protection circuit issue. As we move forward, I may look to this forum for advice. However, for now, we are stymied at the outset by what appears to be a short. Background: I checked all 4 fuses before...

    Testing Protection Mode

    So this might be a bit of an odd question seeing as there doesn't seem to be too many posts about it. Naturally lot of post have been about getting amplifiers out of protection mode, but what if I wanted to get my amplifier in to protection mode. Crazy right? This question primarily centers...

    PA3004 chip PCB substitute

    After discovering a failed PA3004 chip on my SA-7700 rebuild, and paying $35 for a single replacement, I asked @merlynski to help me design a PCB substitute, so we can all keep rehabbing these old units without paying exorbitant prices for new "old stock" chips. Our design goal was to replicate...
